Examiner Lin Lin M Htay has allowed 234 of 319 decided applications (73%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Lin Lin M Htay has a public record spanning 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 319 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 73%. The record reflects activity across multiple art units, with allowance rates ranging from 46% to 77% among those units. Of 363 total applications, 234 were allowed and 85 were abandoned. These figures describe the examiner's historical record and do not predict outcomes in any individual case.
This record aggregates decisions across three separate art units within TC 2100. The 73% allowance rate is a pooled figure—the ratio of allowed to all decided applications across the entire set of art units combined. The range (46% to 77%) reflects variation among individual art units but does not identify which specific unit produced which rate. Pooled figures describe past performance only and are not predictive of results in any particular application.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 201 decided applications with an interview and 79 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 35 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines control or regulating systems, and electric power networks.
Based on 4 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Lin Lin M Htay 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: 363 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.
