Examiner Shyue Jiunn Hwa has allowed 763 of 917 decided applications (83%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Patent Examiner Shyue Jiunn Hwa maintains a public record spanning three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 917 decided applications, the examiner issued an allowance rate of 83%. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 74% to 89%. This pooled record reflects outcomes in art units 2155, 2156, and 2163, encompassing a total of 949 applications received.
This record aggregates data across multiple art units, presenting an overall profile rather than art-unit-specific rates. The pooled allowance rate describes historical outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's result. Variation across art units reflects differences in technology area and examination complexity. Pooled figures provide context for an examiner's overall record but do not determine outcomes in individual cases.
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 Shyue Jiunn Hwa 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: 949 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.
