// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Albert Decady has a pooled allowance rate of 59% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans 3 art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate reflects the share of applications in his decided pool (allowed and abandoned combined) that resulted in allowance. This aggregate figure describes his historical record across the art units in which he has decided cases and does not characterize any individual application or art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, presenting an overall historical allowance rate rather than unit-by-unit detail. Decady's 59% allowance rate is a summary of past decisions across his 3 art units and reflects the proportion of his decided applications that were allowed. Pooled figures describe the past record only and are not predictions for any specific application or art unit.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

The record, art unit by art unit.

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.

  • How many art units does Decady work in?
    Decady's public record spans 3 art units within Technology Center 2100.
  • What does a pooled allowance rate mean?
    A pooled rate aggregates allowances and abandonments across all art units in which the examiner has decided cases. It describes the historical proportion of allowed decisions and does not predict outcomes for individual applications.
  • Does this allowance rate apply to my specific application?

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Albert Decady 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 July 14, 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: 102 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
