Examiner Sookil J Lee

What the data says.

Sookil J Lee maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 61 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 30 and abandoned 31, corresponding to an allowance rate of 49%. This figure represents the share of decided cases—applications with final dispositions of allowance or abandonment—within the examiner's pooled record. The examiner's practice spans a single art unit, meaning all statistics reflect work within one classification area. The 49% allowance rate is the historical record of decisions rendered; it is not predictive of outcomes in any specific application.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications decided by the examiner across their art unit(s) in TC 2100. The allowance rate is a backward-looking summary: it describes what portion of finalized cases resulted in allowance over a defined period. Aggregate statistics do not predict the outcome of any individual application and do not account for differences in claim scope, prior art, or applicant conduct. A pooled rate reflects a mix of technologies and prosecution histories within the technology center's scope.

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 →

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.
