What the data says.reading this examiner

Jen-Shi Huang maintains a 54% allowance rate across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2400. The examiner's public record spans a single art unit. The allowance rate reflects the percentage of applications that were allowed out of all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined), excluding any pending cases. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across the covered art unit and represents historical outcomes in the technology center, not a prediction for any particular application.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all decided applications across the examiner's art unit assignments. The 54% allowance rate describes past outcomes and reflects the distribution of allowed versus abandoned applications that were resolved. Pooled figures represent historical aggregate data and do not predict the outcome of any specific application. Individual art units may exhibit different patterns; per-art-unit detail appears in a separate section of this page.

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 Jen-Shi Huang 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: 135 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.
