// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Hsiyue S Hsiao has a public record spanning one art unit in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 30 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 9 and abandoned 21, yielding an allowance rate of 30% across decided cases. This allowance rate reflects outcomes on applications with final dispositions recorded in the public record. The record aggregates activity within TC 2100 and describes historical outcomes only, without bearing on the disposition of any particular pending application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's activity across all assigned art units within TC 2100. The 30% allowance rate is calculated from 30 disposed (decided) applications—allowed and abandoned cases combined—and describes the examiner's past record. Aggregate historical figures do not predict the outcome of any specific application. Individual art units may show different patterns; consult the detailed art-unit breakdown for unit-specific data.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Hsiyue S Hsiao 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: 30 applications.
