Examiner Baboucarr Faal has allowed 536 of 645 decided applications (83%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Baboucarr Faal's public record spans 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 645 decided applications, the allowance rate is 83%, meaning 536 applications were allowed and 109 abandoned. The examiner's allowance rate ranges from 74% to 92% across these art units, reflecting variation in outcomes by subject matter and art unit. This pooled figure represents the aggregate of work across all four art units and does not indicate performance on any single application or art unit.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across multiple art units. The 83% allowance rate describes past decisions on 645 completed applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The range of 74% to 92% across art units reflects natural variation by subject matter. Pooled statistics describe historical patterns and do not forecast results in individual cases or particular art units.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 107 decided applications with an interview and 100 without.

Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 53 decided applications with an interview and 109 without.
Primarily examines interconnection and data transfer between memory, I/O, and processing units.
Based on 31 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Baboucarr Faal 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: 693 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.
