Examiner Fariborz Khoshnoodi has allowed 384 of 476 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Fariborz Khoshnoodi maintains a public record spanning five art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 476 disposed applications, 384 were allowed and 92 were abandoned, resulting in an allowance rate of 81%. The examiner's allowance rates vary across the five art units, ranging from 73% to 88%. This pooled record aggregates outcomes from art units 2157, 2161, 2162, 2164, and 2168, representing the examiner's cumulative work in the technology center.
A pooled record combines outcomes across multiple art units into a single aggregate statistic. The overall allowance rate of 81% describes past dispositions and does not predict the outcome of any individual application. The range of 73% to 88% reflects variation among the examiner's art units but does not identify which rate applies to any specific art unit or prosecution. Pooled figures provide general context about the examiner's record across the technology center.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Fariborz Khoshnoodi 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: 476 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.
