// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data from a single art unit and describes past disposition patterns. An allowance rate of 23% reflects the share of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) that resulted in allowance, calculated from 69 total disposed cases. Aggregate historical figures describe what occurred in the examiner's record and are not predictions about any specific application or prosecution.

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 Jian Yu 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: 69 applications.
