Examiner Bing Zhao has allowed 506 of 554 decided applications (91%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Bing Zhao maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 554 decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 91%. This rate reflects 506 allowed applications against 48 abandoned applications in the pooled record. Allowance rates across the examiner's art units range from 90% to 94%, reflecting variation in the composition and outcomes of work across different art-unit assignments within TC 2100.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units with different subject-matter scopes and application characteristics. The overall allowance rate describes the historical record across all of the examiner's assigned art units combined. This aggregate figure is a description of past dispositions and is not a prediction about any specific application. Individual art-unit records may differ from the pooled rate.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Bing Zhao 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: 583 applications.

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.
