This pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to the examiner. The allowance rate of 58% describes historical outcomes on decided applications and serves as a statistical summary of past dispositions. Aggregate figures do not predict the outcome of any specific application, nor do they account for variations in application complexity, subject matter within the technology center, or individual prosecution histories. These statistics offer context on the examiner's overall record only.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Longbit Chai 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: 163 applications.
