Examiner Yuqing Xiao has allowed 138 of 197 decided applications (70%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Yuqing Xiao maintains a public record spanning 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 197 disposed applications, 138 were allowed and 59 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 70%. The allowance rate across the examiner's art units ranges from 66% to 74%, reflecting variation in outcomes between individual art units. This pooled figure describes the examiner's historical record and does not forecast outcomes in any specific application.
This record is pooled across multiple art units within TC 2100, aggregating different technological domains. Pooled allowance rates represent historical outcomes across all of the examiner's assigned art units and are correlational snapshots of past dispositions. Such aggregate figures are not predictions for any individual application and do not account for application-specific facts, claim scope, or prosecution history. Individual art-unit rates may differ materially from the pooled rate.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Yuqing Xiao 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: 197 applications.
