Examiner Nicholas S Wu has allowed 28 of 50 decided applications (56%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Nicholas S Wu maintains a public record across two art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 102 total applications, 50 have been disposed of (allowed or abandoned). Of those 50 decided applications, 28 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 56%. The record reflects activity spanning art units 2129 and 2148. These figures represent the examiner's pooled historical performance and do not indicate the outcome of any pending or future application.
This pooled record aggregates dispositions across multiple art units in TC 2100. The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only—allowed and abandoned cases combined—and excludes pending filings. Pooled figures represent historical data across different subject areas within the technology center. They describe past outcomes and are not predictions applicable to any individual application or art unit.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 29 decided applications with an interview and 16 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 5 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Nicholas S Wu 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: 102 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.
