// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Devayani R Talukdar maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) across two art units. Over 41 disposed applications, the allowance rate stands at 73%. This rate reflects 30 allowed applications and 11 abandoned applications. The pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across both art units and represents the examiner's historical record of allowances among decided cases. This percentage describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application outcome.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled, cross-art-unit record aggregates disposal data from multiple art units into a single allowance-rate figure. That figure describes the examiner's historical rate of allowances among all decided applications across those units combined. The aggregate rate is a statistical summary of past dispositions and does not predict the outcome of any individual application or reflect the characteristics of any single art unit.

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 Devayani R Talukdar 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: 41 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.
