// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to an examiner. The allowance rate of 58% reflects historical outcomes on 136 decided applications and describes the past record only. Aggregate figures do not predict outcomes on specific applications. Individual art-unit records, if available, may show variation and provide narrower subject-matter context.

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 Ashokkumar 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: 136 applications.
