// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates outcomes across the examiner's art units. The allowance rate of 52% describes historical results over 99 decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation across individual art units; a separate section of this page shows per-art-unit detail. Aggregate statistics describe the past record only and do not forecast prosecution results in any particular 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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Faruk Hamza 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: 99 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.
