Examiner Liang Y Li has allowed 183 of 291 decided applications (63%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Liang Y Li maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning one art unit. Across 291 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 183 and abandoned 108, for an allowance rate of 63% over the decided pool. The record encompasses 330 total applications filed. This pooled figure represents the examiner's historical disposition across decided cases and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.
A pooled record aggregates data across all art units under an examiner's supervision. The allowance rate describes the share of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) in the examiner's past record. Aggregate figures do not predict outcomes for individual applications. Art-unit composition and subject-matter variation within TC 2100 may affect prosecution patterns; review of art-unit-specific data provides additional context.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 215 decided applications with an interview and 76 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Liang Y 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: 330 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.
