Examiner Fahmida Rahman has allowed 544 of 671 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Fahmida Rahman maintains a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 671 disposed applications, she has allowed 544, for an allowance rate of 81%. This rate reflects a pooled aggregate across her assigned art units. The allowance rates within individual art units range from 74% to 96%, indicating variation in outcomes across the different areas of TC 2100 in which she has worked. The record spans 709 total applications, with 127 abandonments.
This pooled record aggregates applications and dispositions across multiple art units. The 81% overall allowance rate describes past outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction for any specific case. Variations in allowance rates across her art units reflect differing application mixes and art-unit characteristics, not uniform performance. Aggregate statistics describe historical patterns and do not forecast outcomes on individual matters.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Fahmida Rahman 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: 709 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.
