This pooled record aggregates data across art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 58% reflects outcomes on 119 decided applications—allowed plus abandoned cases—and represents the examiner's past practice in this technology center. Aggregate historical figures describe what has occurred, not what will occur in any individual application. Individual art-unit detail, where available, may offer narrower context for specific subject matter.
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.
Primarily examines control or regulating systems.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Yvonne Trang Follansbee 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: 161 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.
