Across 97 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 51 and abandoned 46. The allowance rate stands at 53% of decided applications.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all applications across an examiner's assigned art units into a single allowance-rate figure. This aggregate describes past dispositions and does not predict outcomes on individual applications. The rate reflects applications already decided—allowed or abandoned—and excludes pending matters. Pooled data provides a historical baseline; results on any specific application may vary based on claim scope, prior art, and prosecution history.

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 Arezoo Sherkat 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: 97 applications.
