// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

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.

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.
