// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates outcomes across all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction. The allowance rate of 40% describes historical dispositions and is not a prediction for any specific application. Pooled figures mask variation across individual art units and technology areas. Understanding an aggregate rate requires awareness that it combines multiple bodies of work. Individual application outcomes depend on claim scope, prior art, and other case-specific factors independent of historical aggregate rates.

These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kyung H Shin has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 92 applications.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
