Examiner Yicun Wu has allowed 809 of 970 decided applications (83%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Yicun Wu maintains a public record across 5 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 970 disposed applications, 809 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 83%. The examiner's allowance rates across individual art units range from 76% to 96%, reflecting variation in the composition and outcome distribution of applications within different art units in TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates results across five separate art units in the technology center. The 83% overall allowance rate describes what occurred in past applications decided by this examiner, not a prediction for any specific new application. Variation across art units (76% to 96%) reflects differences in application content and outcomes within each unit, and aggregate figures do not predict results in any individual case.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Yicun Wu 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: 992 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.
