Examiner Faraj Ayoub has allowed 48 of 67 decided applications (72%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Faraj Ayoub has a public record spanning two art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 67 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 72%, with 48 allowed and 19 abandoned. This pooled figure reflects decisions made across both art units and does not isolate performance in any individual art unit. The record covers completed examinations only; pending applications are excluded from the allowance calculation.
This pooled record aggregates data from two separate art units within TC 2100. The 72% allowance rate describes the historical share of decided applications that received allowances, calculated from the disposed count. Aggregate figures describe past dispositions and are not predictions about any specific application. Individual art-unit performance may vary; separate data for each art unit appears elsewhere on this page.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 39 decided applications with an interview and 21 without.
Primarily examines artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Based on 7 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Faraj Ayoub 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: 67 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.
