Examiner Rinna Yi has allowed 408 of 528 decided applications (77%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Rinna Yi has a public record spanning 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 528 disposed applications, 408 were allowed, for an overall allowance rate of 77%. The allowance rate ranges from 65% to 94% across the examiner's art units, reflecting variation in the composition and outcomes of applications handled in each unit. This pooled figure aggregates work across multiple art units and represents the examiner's historical disposition of decided cases.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's work across multiple art units, combining applications with different technological scopes and complexities. The overall allowance rate (77% across 528 decided applications) is a historical aggregate and does not predict the outcome of any specific application. The range of rates (65% to 94%) shows that allowance rates differ among the examiner's individual art units; this pooled summary does not assign any rate to any particular unit.
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 Rinna Yi 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: 558 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.
