Examiner Farhad Ali

What the data says.

Examiner Farhad Ali holds a public record of 24 disposed applications across one art unit in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those 24 decided applications, 5 were allowed and 19 were abandoned, for an allowance rate of 21%. This rate is calculated as a percentage of all disposed (decided) applications and describes the examiner's historical record in this art unit. The record reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition; it does not include pending applications.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data from a single art unit and presents the examiner's overall allowance rate across all decided applications in TC 2100. The 21% figure summarizes past dispositions only and does not predict the outcome of any specific application. Aggregate statistics describe historical performance and reflect the mix of applications examined; they are correlational summaries, not causal indicators of how any future application will be examined.

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 →
