Examiner Haimei Jiang has allowed 256 of 464 decided applications (55%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Haimei Jiang maintains a pooled allowance rate of 55% across 464 decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). This record spans four art units: 2142, 2145, 2173, and 2175. The examiner allowed 256 applications and abandoned 208 across these units. The allowance rate ranges from 54% to 57% among the individual art units in the examiner's portfolio, reflecting variation in outcomes across different classification areas within TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates data from four distinct art units under a single technology center. The aggregate allowance rate reflects historical outcomes across all units combined and describes the examiner's past record only. The range of 54% to 57% indicates that allowance rates vary by art unit but remain relatively close. Pooled figures are correlational summaries of past decisions and are not predictions about any specific application or art-unit assignment.
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.
Primarily examines artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 154 decided applications with an interview and 90 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 108 decided applications with an interview and 87 without.
Based on 13 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines general computer details, and program control and execution.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Haimei Jiang 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: 502 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.
