// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Fazlul Quader maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled allowance rate stands at 55% across hundreds of decided applications. This figure represents the percentage of applications that were allowed, measured against all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined). The record spans multiple art units within TC 2100, and the aggregate allowance rate reflects performance across this broader portfolio rather than performance in any single art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates decided applications across multiple art units within the same technology center. The allowance rate describes the examiner's historical record and reflects outcomes that occurred in the past. Aggregate figures do not constitute predictions about any individual application. To understand performance within a specific art unit, refer to the per-art-unit section of this profile, which breaks down statistics by individual unit.

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 Fazlul Quader 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 July 14, 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: 266 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
