Examiner Chie W Yew has allowed 323 of 394 decided applications (82%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Chie W Yew maintains a public record across two art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 394 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 323, yielding an 82% allowance rate. The examiner's record spans art units 2131 and 2139. Allowance rates across these art units range from 53% to 95%, reflecting variation in the examiner's decisions within TC 2100. Of 422 total applications on record, 71 were abandoned. This pooled figure describes the examiner's historical record and does not predict outcomes in any specific application.
This record aggregates decisions across multiple art units in TC 2100. The 82% allowance rate reflects the examiner's historical rate of allowed applications among all decided cases—a retrospective measure of the pooled record. Because this figure spans different art units with different allowance rates (53% to 95%), it represents an average across distinct examination contexts. Historical pooled rates do not forecast the outcome of any individual application or provide a basis for prosecution strategy.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Chie W Yew 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: 422 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.
