How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's record across all art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 82% describes past dispositions across decided applications and is a historical summary, not a prediction of future outcomes on specific filings. Pooled records combine different subject areas and application types, so individual case outcomes may vary from the aggregate figure.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jigar P Patel 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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 729 applications.

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.
