Examiner Meng Yao Zhe has allowed 213 of 308 decided applications (69%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Meng Yao Zhe maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 308 disposed applications, 213 were allowed and 95 were abandoned, yielding a 69% allowance rate. This rate reflects the examiner's pooled record across a single art unit (2195). The allowance rate is computed from decided applications only and does not include pending cases. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's activity across all assigned art units within TC 2100.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record aggregates application dispositions and allowance rates across multiple art units. The 69% allowance rate describes past outcomes over 308 decided cases and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation among individual art units; detailed performance within each art unit appears separately. Allowance rates are correlational historical data, not causal indicators of how any future examination will proceed.
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 program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 109 decided applications with an interview and 199 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Meng Yao Zhe 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: 308 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.
