// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Peter Xu maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning one art unit. Across 36 total applications in his pooled record, zero applications have been allowed and zero have been abandoned, resulting in zero disposed applications. Because allowance rate is calculated only from decided cases (allowed plus abandoned applications), no allowance rate can be computed from this record. The examiner's statistics reflect applications that remain pending or are otherwise undecided at the time of this report.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's activity across all assigned art units. The figures—total applications, allowances, and abandonments—describe his historical record and are correlational only, not predictive of any individual application's outcome. An allowance rate, when calculable, reflects past decisions on closed applications and does not forecast examination results on any pending or future filing.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

The record, art unit by art unit.

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.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Peter Xu 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: 36 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
