// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Anita Chaudhuri maintains a pooled public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 234 disposed applications, 136 were allowed and 98 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 58%. This rate is calculated from decided applications only and reflects the examiner's record across a single art unit (2173). The record shows the aggregate outcome of applications examined in TC 2100 and does not constitute a prediction for any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units under one technology center, presenting an overall picture of an examiner's disposition history. The allowance rate shown reflects past decided applications and describes only what has occurred, not what will occur in any specific future case. Pooled figures mask variation among individual art units; detailed per-art-unit rates, where available, may differ from the aggregate and provide more granular insight.

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 →

Questions about Examiner Anita Chaudhuri

  • What is Examiner Chaudhuri's overall allowance rate?
    The allowance rate is 58%, calculated from 234 disposed (decided) applications: 136 allowed and 98 abandoned. This represents the examiner's historical record in TC 2100 and is not a prediction of any specific application.
  • How many art units does this record cover?
    This pooled record covers one art unit (2173) within Technology Center 2100. The figures shown are aggregated across that unit only.
  • Does the allowance rate apply to my application?
    No. The allowance rate describes the examiner's past record on decided applications and is not a prediction for any individual case. Outcomes depend on the specific claims, prior art, and examination history of each application.
  • What does 'disposed applications' mean?
    Disposed applications are those that have been decided—either allowed or abandoned. Pending applications are excluded. The allowance rate is always calculated from the disposed count, not total filings.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Anita Chaudhuri 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: 234 applications.

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.
