Examiner Gautam Sain has allowed 300 of 471 decided applications (64%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Gautam Sain maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 471 disposed applications, 300 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 64%. The examiner's record spans multiple art units (2135, 2176, 2185), with allowance rates ranging from 24% to 69% across these units. This range reflects variation in outcomes by art unit. The pooled figure of 64% represents the aggregate allowance rate across all art units combined, aggregating 516 total applications.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record aggregates outcomes across multiple distinct art units, each with its own subject matter and examination patterns. The overall allowance rate describes past decisions on disposed applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Variation across individual art units may reflect differences in subject matter, applicant behavior, or other non-examiner factors. The aggregate figure masks this variation; examination outcomes in any particular art unit may differ materially from the pooled rate.
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.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 302 decided applications with an interview and 112 without.
Primarily examines general computer details, and program control and execution.
Based on 16 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Gautam Sain 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: 516 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.
