// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's activity across multiple art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 55% describes the examiner's historical disposal record and reflects the proportion of decided applications that were allowed. Aggregate figures do not predict outcomes in any individual application. Applicants seeking unit-specific data may review the separate per-art-unit section of 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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Yin Chen Shaw 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: 49 applications.
