Examiner Mong-Shune Chung has allowed 384 of 482 decided applications (80%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Mong-Shune Chung maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 482 disposed applications, 384 were allowed, yielding an 80% allowance rate. The examiner's allowance rate across the art units ranges from 56% to 96%, reflecting variation in the record among the different art-unit assignments. This pooled figure represents applications decided over the period covered by the public record and does not include pending cases.
This pooled record aggregates decisions across multiple art units in TC 2100. The 80% allowance rate describes historical dispositions—allowed and abandoned applications—among the 482 decided cases. It is a description of the past record, not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The range (56% to 96%) shows that allowance rates differ among the examiner's individual art units; the pooled rate reflects the combined performance across all of them.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Mong-Shune Chung 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: 515 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.
