// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Seung Woon Jung maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 268 disposed applications, 174 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 65%. The allowance rate across individual art units ranges from 66% to 76%, reflecting variation in the examiner's record within the technology center. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across distinct subject areas and does not represent a projection for any single application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines results from multiple art units into a single statistic. The 65% allowance rate reflects historical outcomes across three different art units in TC 2100 and represents past dispositions only. Pooled figures describe what occurred in decided cases and are not predictions about future applications. Individual art units may show different rates; those are reported separately.

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

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Seung Woon Jung 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: 268 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.
