Examiner Cheyne D Ly has allowed 738 of 992 decided applications (74%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Cheyne D Ly maintains a public record across three art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 992 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 74%. This figure represents 738 allowed applications and 254 abandoned applications in the examiner's pooled record. Across the three art units, allowance rates range from 71% to 86%, reflecting variation in the examiner's record across different areas within TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 74% allowance rate describes historical outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's disposition. Pooled figures mask differences among individual art units; variation in allowance rates (71% to 86%) shows that outcomes differ by art unit. This data provides context on past record only.
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 Cheyne D Ly 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: 1,027 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.
