// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units where an examiner works, presenting an overall allowance rate and application count. The figures describe the examiner's historical record and are correlational only—they are not predictive of outcomes in any specific application. When an examiner covers multiple art units, the aggregate rate may mask variation between units; per-art-unit detail appears separately on 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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Albert Li has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 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: 101 applications.

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.
