What the data says.

David Yi maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 43 disposed applications, the allowance rate stands at 65%, meaning that of applications decided (allowed or abandoned), 65% were allowed. The examiner's record spans art units 2126 and 2132. This pooled figure aggregates work across both units and describes the historical record; it is not a prediction of outcomes for any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units, combining different subject areas and examiner output into a single overall rate. The 65% allowance rate reflects the past ratio of allowed to total decided applications across all units handled by this examiner. Aggregate figures describe historical performance and are correlational only—they do not predict the disposition of any specific application or reflect examination practices in any single art unit.

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

The record, art unit by art unit.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner David Yi 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: 51 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.
