Across 941 total applications, 681 were allowed and 235 were abandoned, for a combined total of 916 disposed applications. The allowance rate over these decided applications is 74%. This examiner's record spans one art unit. These figures represent the examiner's pooled historical record and do not constitute predictions about outcomes in any individual application.
This profile aggregates the examiner's record across all assigned art units into a single pooled allowance rate and disposal count. Aggregate figures describe past decisions and are historical in nature. They are not predictions of how any specific application will be examined or decided. To understand performance variation by subject area, consult the per-art-unit detail sections of this page.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Syling 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: 941 applications.
