Examiner Yemane Mesfin

What the data says.

Yemane Mesfin maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across one art unit, the examiner has disposed of 101 applications. Of those decided applications, 71 were allowed and 30 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 70%. This figure represents the proportion of applications that received approval among all applications that reached a final disposition—either allowance or abandonment. The record reflects work across a single art unit within TC 2100.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units in which the examiner works. The 70% allowance rate describes the historical proportion of allowed versus abandoned applications already decided. Pooled figures do not account for variation by art unit or application type and are not a prediction of the outcome of any specific pending or future application. Review of the examiner's per-art-unit breakdown, where available, may provide additional context.

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 →
