Examiner Paul Juei-Fu Yen has allowed 349 of 449 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Paul Juei-Fu Yen maintains a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 449 decided applications, his allowance rate is 78%. The allowance rate ranges from 72% to 82% across his art units. Of 480 total applications in his record, 349 were allowed and 100 were abandoned. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate allowance rate across all three art units and does not reflect performance in any single art unit.
This record is pooled across multiple art units, aggregating applications from different technical areas within TC 2100. The overall allowance rate of 78% describes the examiner's past record across all disposed applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may show different allowance rates; this aggregate figure represents the combined record only.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Paul Juei-Fu Yen 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: 480 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.
