// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's record across all art units in which they work. The allowance rate shown—28%—describes historical outcomes across decided applications and reflects the composition of all cases handled. Pooled figures encompass multiple art units and do not forecast results on any specific application. Individual art-unit data, where available separately, may show variation from the overall pooled rate.

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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Dhairya A 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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 47 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.
