Examiner Xiaoqin Hu has allowed 121 of 193 decided applications (63%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Xiaoqin Hu's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), covering one art unit. Across 193 disposed applications, the examiner issued 121 allowances, corresponding to a 63% allowance rate. The record includes 72 abandoned applications and 228 total filings. This allowance rate reflects the proportion of decided cases (allowances and abandonments combined) and does not describe pending applications.
This pooled record aggregates one art unit's decided applications over time. The 63% allowance rate describes past dispositions—allowances as a share of applications that have been allowed or abandoned—and is not a prediction of outcomes in any specific application. Aggregate figures across art units describe historical data and vary by individual case, technology, claim scope, and prosecution history.
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 Xiaoqin Hu 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: 228 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.
