Examiner Chirag R Patel has allowed 38 of 58 decided applications (66%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Chirag R Patel's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across one art unit, the examiner has disposed of 58 applications. Of those decided applications, 38 were allowed and 20 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 66%. This figure represents the examiner's historical allowance rate over the pooled, decided record and does not predict the outcome of any particular application.
This record aggregates all applications decided by the examiner across their assigned art units in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 66% describes the examiner's past decisions on applications that reached a final disposition (allowed or abandoned). Aggregate historical figures describe what occurred in prior cases and are not predictions about any individual application's outcome.

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 artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 20 decided applications with an interview and 38 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Chirag R Patel 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: 58 applications.
