Examiner Bille M Dahir has allowed 29 of 74 decided applications (39%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Bille M Dahir maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 74 disposed applications, the examiner issued 29 allowances and recorded 45 abandonments, yielding a 39% allowance rate. This rate reflects outcomes on applications that have been decided; it does not account for pending filings. The record aggregates results across multiple art units within TC 2100, presenting a pooled view of the examiner's overall disposition history.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's outcomes across all art units in their assigned technology center. The allowance rate shown here—39% of 74 decided applications—describes the examiner's past record and does not predict outcomes in any specific case. Each art unit may carry distinct subject matter and examination patterns. Pooled statistics serve as background context only; they are not predictions or causal indicators for individual applications.
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 general computer details, and program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 33 decided applications with an interview and 23 without.
Based on 18 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Bille M Dahir 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: 74 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.
