Examiner Marina Lee has allowed 690 of 795 decided applications (87%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Marina Lee maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 795 disposed applications, her allowance rate stands at 87%. Of 826 total applications on file, 690 were allowed and 105 were abandoned. The allowance rate reflects only decided cases and excludes pending matters. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across multiple art units and describes her historical record without bearing on any individual application's outcome.
A pooled record combines data from multiple art units into one aggregate profile. The allowance rate and disposition counts shown here are historical summaries across all units in which the examiner has worked. These figures describe what occurred in past applications and are not predictive of outcomes in any specific pending case. Individual art units may have different characteristics; this page presents the cross-unit total only.
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 software engineering.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 261 decided applications with an interview and 383 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 55 decided applications with an interview and 81 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution, and software engineering.
Based on 15 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Marina Lee 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: 826 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.
