// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile presents pooled statistics across all art units where the examiner works. Aggregate allowance rates describe past dispositions and do not predict outcomes in individual applications. The allowance rate is calculated from decided cases only—allowed plus abandoned—excluding pending filings. When reviewing an examiner's record, distinguish between historical aggregate data and the specific circumstances of any given application under examination.

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 Amine Riad 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: 983 applications.
