Examiner Anand B Patel has allowed 106 of 130 decided applications (82%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Anand B Patel maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across a single art unit, the examiner's pooled record comprises 130 disposed applications, of which 106 were allowed and 24 were abandoned. This corresponds to an allowance rate of 82% over the decided count. The allowance rate is computed from disposed applications only and does not include pending matters. This figure represents the examiner's historical record and is not a prediction of outcomes on any specific application.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's work across all art units assigned to them. The allowance rate shown here—82%—is a historical snapshot across decided cases and reflects past dispositions. Aggregate figures describe what has occurred, not what will occur on any particular application. Different art units may have different characteristics, and this pooled rate does not predict results in any specific 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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Anand B Patel 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: 130 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.
