Examiner Hewy H Li has allowed 295 of 347 decided applications (85%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Hewy H Li holds a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 347 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 295 and abandoned 52, yielding an allowance rate of 85% across the pooled record. This figure represents applications decided on the merits or abandoned, excluding any pending matter. The record spans multiple art units, aggregating examination activity across the technology center's subject areas.
This pooled record combines examination data from multiple art units into a single aggregate profile. The allowance rate and application counts reflect historical outcomes across all units combined. These figures describe what occurred in the past and are not predictions about any specific application. Pooled records mask variation among individual art units; detailed per-unit statistics appear in separate sections of this page.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 187 decided applications with an interview and 158 without.
Primarily examines computer-aided design (CAD).
Based on 2 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Hewy H Li 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: 347 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.
