Examiner Qing Chen has allowed 1,029 of 1,211 decided applications (85%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Qing Chen maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 1,259 total applications, 1,029 have been allowed and 182 abandoned, for a pooled allowance rate of 85% over 1,211 decided applications. The examiner's record spans a single art unit. This allowance rate is a historical aggregate of past dispositions and does not predict the outcome of any specific application.
This pooled record aggregates all applications across the examiner's art unit(s). The allowance rate reflects past decided cases—allowed plus abandoned—and describes only that historical record. Pooled figures do not account for differences among individual art units or application characteristics. These statistics are correlational, not predictive, and do not indicate how any particular application will be examined or decided.
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, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 921 decided applications with an interview and 290 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Qing Chen 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: 1,259 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.
