Examiner Sally Thi Ley has allowed 7 of 37 decided applications (19%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Sally Thi Ley maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Across 37 disposed applications, her allowance rate stands at 19%. Of 80 total applications in her record, 7 were allowed and 30 were abandoned. The remaining applications are pending. This pooled figure represents outcomes across both art units combined and reflects historical disposition data only.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes from two art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 19% describes past dispositions across those combined units and is a historical figure only—it is not a prediction of outcomes on any specific application. Pooled rates mask variation between individual art units; per-art-unit breakdowns appear separately on this page.
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 artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 8 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sally Thi Ley 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: 80 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.
