// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Bijan Mapar holds a public record of 537 total applications across Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning four art units. Of 494 disposed applications, 341 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 69%. The examiner's allowance rate ranges from 55% to 84% across these art units. This pooled figure reflects aggregate outcomes across different subject-matter areas within TC 2100 and does not characterize performance in any single art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates the examiner's outcomes across multiple art units within TC 2100. The overall allowance rate of 69% describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The range (55% to 84%) reflects variation among individual art units; the aggregate figure masks this spread. Historical data describes what occurred, not what will occur in any future 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 →

// BY ART UNIT

The record, art unit by art unit.

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.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Bijan Mapar 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: 537 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
