Examiner Ting Zhou Lee has allowed 353 of 495 decided applications (71%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Ting Zhou Lee has a public record spanning 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 495 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 353, yielding a 71% allowance rate. The examiner's work is distributed across art units 2171 and 2173. Allowance rates across these art units range from 62% to 94%. This pooled figure represents the aggregate of decided applications and does not reflect pending filings.
This pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units within TC 2100. The 71% allowance rate describes decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across the examiner's entire caseload and is historical data only. Because different art units within the technology center may carry different allowance rates—reflected in the 62% to 94% range—the aggregate does not predict the outcome of any specific application. For art-unit-specific rates, refer to the per-art-unit section.
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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ting Zhou 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: 514 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.
