Examiner Gayathri Sampath has allowed 281 of 356 decided applications (79%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Gayathri Sampath maintains a public record across 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 356 decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate stands at 79%, based on 281 allowed and 75 abandoned applications. The record spans art units 2115, 2118, 2176, and 2187. Allowance rates across these art units range from 72% to 88%, reflecting variation in outcomes by art unit. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate record and does not predict outcomes in any individual application.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across four art units in TC 2100. The 79% allowance rate describes past outcomes across 356 decided applications and reflects the examiner's aggregate history. Pooled figures do not constitute a prediction of any specific application's outcome, nor do they indicate how the examiner will act in future cases. Individual art unit records, where available separately, may show variation from this aggregate.
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 computer-aided design (CAD).

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Gayathri Sampath 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: 387 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.
