Examiner El Hadji Malick Sall has allowed 64 of 111 decided applications (58%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
El Hadji Malick Sall maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 111 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 64 and abandoned 47, yielding an allowance rate of 58%. The record spans one art unit. This pooled figure represents outcomes on decided applications only; pending cases are excluded from the calculation. The 58% allowance rate reflects the examiner's historical disposal record in TC 2100 and is not a prediction of outcomes on any particular application.
A pooled record aggregates results across all art units under an examiner's jurisdiction. The allowance rate shown—58% here—is computed from decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) and describes past dispositions, not future ones. Because this figure combines different art units, it reflects an overall pattern but does not isolate outcomes within any single art unit. Pooled data describes what has occurred, not what will occur in any individual case.
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 information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 68 decided applications with an interview and 43 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner El Hadji Malick Sall 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: 111 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.
