Examiner Brahim Bourzik has allowed 255 of 386 decided applications (66%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Brahim Bourzik maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 435 total applications, 386 have been decided (allowed or abandoned). Of those 386 decided applications, 255 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 66%. The record spans art units 2154 and 2191. This pooled figure represents outcomes across both units combined and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.
A pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units, presenting a single allowance rate across all examined applications in those units combined. The 66% figure describes past dispositions and reflects the examiner's historical record across TC 2100. This aggregate does not predict outcomes in any individual case, nor does it account for differences in application complexity, claim scope, or prosecution history. Pooled data offers a broad overview only.
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 software engineering, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 262 decided applications with an interview and 121 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 3 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Brahim Bourzik 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: 435 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.
