Examiner Jian Yu has allowed 16 of 69 decided applications (23%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Jian Yu maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 69 disposed applications in a single art unit, the allowance rate stands at 23%, reflecting 16 allowed applications and 53 abandoned applications. This pooled figure represents the examiner's historical record across decided cases and does not indicate the outcome of any pending or future application. The record is limited to one art unit within TC 2100.
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.

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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.

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.

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.
