Examiner Faisal M Zaman has allowed 704 of 1,039 decided applications (68%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Faisal M Zaman maintains a public record across 5 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,039 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 68%. This rate reflects 704 allowed applications and 335 abandoned applications pooled across all assigned art units. The allowance rate varies across these art units, ranging from 57% to 88%. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregated record and does not apply uniformly to any single art unit.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record aggregates the examiner's activity across multiple art units within the technology center. The overall allowance rate describes past outcomes across all assigned units combined and is not a prediction of the outcome for any individual application. Variation in allowance rates across art units reflects differences in examination activity within each unit. Pooled figures are useful for understanding an examiner's overall record but do not predict results on a specific 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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 90 decided applications with an interview and 285 without.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Faisal M Zaman 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: 1,092 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.
