// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled examiner record aggregates data across multiple art units and prior decisions. The overall allowance rate describes the examiner's historical disposition rate on decided applications only, excluding pending filings. The range reflects variation among individual art units. These figures are correlational summaries of past outcomes and are not predictions about any application. Applicants may review per-art-unit records separately for more granular subject-matter data.

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 Lanny N Ung 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: 588 applications.

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.
