Analysis

Katherine Y. Lin is an examiner in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2113. The examiner has 370 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 90.8 percent. This very high rate indicates that the vast majority of applications result in a patent grant. The 370 resolved cases provide a solid statistical foundation for these performance metrics.
