// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Hosain T Alam has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning five art units: 2132, 2154, 2155, 2166, and 2172. Over 35 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 54%. This figure represents applications that were either allowed or abandoned, excluding pending matters. The examiner has acted on 52 total applications in the pooled record. Nineteen applications were allowed and sixteen abandoned. This pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units within the technology center.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates an examiner's decisions across all their assigned art units into a single historical picture. The allowance rate of 54% describes past dispositions on 35 decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Cross-art-unit records are useful for understanding an examiner's overall patterns but do not isolate performance in any particular technology field or art unit. Detailed per-art-unit records are available separately.

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 Hosain T Alam 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: 52 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
