What the data says.reading this examiner

Min Jung has a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2400. The pooled allowance rate is 92%, measured across hundreds of decided applications. This figure reflects the percentage of applications in which a final disposal occurred—either allowance or abandonment—with pending applications excluded. The 92% rate is calculated from the examiner's combined record in both art units and represents the examiner's historical pattern of dispositions on applications that reached a final determination.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates decided applications across multiple art units, providing a single allowance-rate figure for the examiner's overall public history. The 92% statistic describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate rates mask variation between individual art units. For art-unit-specific information, consult the per-unit data section. Pooled figures are descriptive of the record, not predictive of future cases.

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 Min Jung 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: 805 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.

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.
