Examiner Jau Shya Meng has allowed 508 of 633 decided applications (80%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Jau Shya Meng maintains a public record across three art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 633 disposed applications, the examiner issued allowances in 508 cases, yielding an 80% allowance rate. The record spans art units 2161, 2168, and 2169. Of 664 total applications on file, 125 were abandoned. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across multiple art units and reflects decided cases only, excluding pending applications from the allowance-rate calculation.
This profile presents a pooled record—the examiner's outcomes aggregated across all assigned art units. The allowance rate describes the past disposition of decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled records combine different art-unit examinations into a single statistic; individual art-unit performance may vary. These figures are historical and correlational, not causal, and do not forecast results in any particular case.
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 information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 366 decided applications with an interview and 266 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 1 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jau Shya Meng 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: 664 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.
