What the data says.reading this examiner

Jae Nam Noh maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 89%, representing the share of applications that were allowed among all decided (allowed and abandoned) filings in the pooled record. This statistic reflects dispositions on completed applications and does not indicate the outcome of any pending application or constitute a prediction regarding any specific case.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all decided applications across the examiner's art units. The 89% allowance rate describes the historical share of allowed applications among those decided and closed. Aggregate figures characterize past record only—they are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may have different rates; consult the per-art-unit detail for granular breakdowns.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jae Nam Noh has a public record within Technology Center 2400. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated July 22, 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: 699 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.
