What the data says.

Examiner Farshad Jason Farhadian has a public record spanning 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security).

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units and represents the examiner's combined history across those units. The allowance rate and disposal count describe what has occurred in the past and are not predictions about any specific application. Understanding that this figure spans different areas of subject matter is important when evaluating any individual case, which may fall within one or more of the art units represented in the pool.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Farshad Jason Farhadian 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: 46 applications.

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.
