// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, masking unit-specific variation. The overall allowance rate of 84% reflects past dispositions across all three units combined and describes historical outcomes, not prospects for any particular application. To understand performance variation by art unit, refer to the separate per-unit breakdown. Aggregate statistics are correlational; they do not predict individual case outcomes.

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 Yuhui R Pan 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: 669 applications.

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.
