Examiner Abu Z Ghaffari has allowed 554 of 698 decided applications (79%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Abu Z Ghaffari maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). The examiner's pooled allowance rate is 79% across 698 disposed applications. This rate reflects the share of allowed applications among all decided cases (allowed plus abandoned). The record spans one art unit. Of 750 total applications in the public record, 554 were allowed and 144 were abandoned. The figures describe the examiner's historical dispositions and do not constitute predictions for any individual application.
This pooled record aggregates examination activity across the examiner's assigned art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate and other aggregate figures describe past dispositions only and reflect the composition of cases decided during the measurement period. Aggregate statistics do not predict outcomes on any specific application, nor do they account for variations in application complexity, claim scope, or prior art by case.
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 program control and execution.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 514 decided applications with an interview and 184 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Abu Z Ghaffari 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: 750 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.
