Examiner Zhuo H Li has allowed 686 of 769 decided applications (89%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Zhuo H Li maintains a public record across four art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 769 disposed applications, 686 were allowed, for an overall allowance rate of 89%. This rate spans a range across the examiner's art units: the allowance rate ranges from 81% to 94%. The examiner's record encompasses a substantial volume of applications across these multiple art units, with 83 applications abandoned.
This pooled record aggregates allowance data from four separate art units in TC 2100. The 89% figure and the 81%–94% range represent historical aggregated outcomes and do not predict the disposition of any specific application. Pooled figures smooth variation across different art units and subject matter within the technology center. The range reflects real differences in allowance rates among the art units but does not identify which art unit produced which 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 →
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Zhuo H Li 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: 799 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.
