// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Jagdish J Pandya maintains a pooled allowance rate of 60% across dozens of decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His record spans three art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate reflects the percentage of his decided applications—those allowed or abandoned—within this technology center. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across multiple art units and does not predict the outcome of any particular application. The public record provides a historical snapshot of examination outcomes but remains distinct from any single pending case.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates applications across multiple art units into one overall figure. The 60% allowance rate shown here describes past examination outcomes across all three art units combined, not outcomes in any single unit or on any particular application. Pooled statistics reflect historical patterns and do not forecast results in individual cases. For art-unit-specific data, refer to the separate per-unit section of this page.

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

The record, art unit by art unit.

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.

  • What does the pooled rate tell me about my application?
    The pooled rate describes Pandya's historical record and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual case results depend on claim scope, prior art, and examiner assessment.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jagdish J Pandya 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: 63 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.

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.
