What the data says.

Examiner Zheng Wei maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 564 disposed applications, 429 were allowed and 135 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 76%. This rate is calculated from decided applications only and excludes any pending matters. The examiner's record spans a single art unit, pooled into this overall profile. The allowance rate reflects historical outcomes across all applications in that art unit and is a summary of past decisions, not a prediction for any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates all disposed applications within the examiner's assigned art unit(s). The allowance rate of 76% describes the examiner's past decisions as a group and reflects historical data only. Pooled records combine different application types and filing dates into one summary figure. An aggregate allowance rate is descriptive of the record and does not forecast the outcome of any pending or future application, which may involve distinct claim scope, prior art, and procedural history.

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 Zheng Wei 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: 564 applications.
