// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Yanbin Li maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). The record spans one art unit. Across 21 total applications, zero have been allowed and zero abandoned, yielding zero disposed applications. Because no applications have been decided, no allowance rate can be calculated. The examiner's pooled record consists entirely of pending applications. This snapshot reflects applications filed and currently in examination; it does not represent a final measure of prosecution outcomes.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units where the examiner has examined applications. Because all 21 applications remain pending with no dispositions, no allowance rate is available. Pooled figures describe the examiner's past record only and are not predictions of outcomes for any specific application. Each application is examined on its own merits under patent law. Pending status means these cases have not yet reached final disposal.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Yanbin Li 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: 21 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
