What the data says.reading this examiner

Lindsay Jane Kile Uhl maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 82%. This figure represents the share of applications that were allowed out of all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined), excluding pending matters. The allowance rate is expressed as a pooled aggregate across all art units in the examiner's record and describes the historical disposition of decided cases in TC 2400.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates applications across all art units assigned to an examiner, producing a single allowance-rate figure that reflects past outcomes. This aggregate describes what occurred in the examiner's historical caseload and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Individual art units may have different subject matter, application volumes, and historical rates; pooled figures smooth these differences into one overall measure of the examiner's record.

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 Lindsay Jane Kile Uhl 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: 468 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.
