Examiner Philip C Lee has allowed 37 of 79 decided applications (47%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Philip C Lee maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 79 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 47%, with 37 allowed and 42 abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 41% to 49% across these art units. This pooled figure represents past dispositions and does not characterize performance in any single art unit or predict outcomes in individual cases.
This record aggregates applications across multiple art units within TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate of 47% reflects historical dispositions—allowed and abandoned applications combined—across all art units. Aggregate figures describe past activity and are not predictions about specific applications. Art-unit-level detail, where available separately, may show variation from the pooled rate.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Philip C 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: 79 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.
