Examiner Lawrence W Luk

What the data says.

Lawrence W Luk maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 43 disposed applications, 30 were allowed and 13 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 70%. This record spans a single art unit. The allowance rate reflects outcomes on applications already decided; it does not represent a prediction for any pending or future application, nor does it account for applications still in prosecution.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications decided by the examiner across his assigned art unit(s). The 70% allowance rate describes past dispositions on a closed set of 43 applications. Aggregate figures characterize the examiner's historical record and are not predictions about any specific application's outcome. Understanding the breadth (number of art units) helps contextualize whether the record reflects experience across multiple subject areas or concentration in a single area.

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 →
