// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Of these decided applications, 41 were allowed and 20 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 67%. This record spans a single art unit (2164). The allowance rate reflects the examiner's historical disposition of applications that have reached final decision; it is a description of past outcomes only and does not characterize any particular examination or predict outcomes in individual applications.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile presents pooled data aggregated across all art units in which the examiner maintains a record. The allowance rate of 67% describes the proportion of decided applications that resulted in allowance across the examiner's entire caseload. Aggregate statistics reflect the past record and are not predictive of the disposition of any specific application. Individual art units may have separate records; those figures, where available, are reported separately.

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 Yohanes D Kelemework 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: 61 applications.
