Examiner Kamal K Dewan has allowed 111 of 226 decided applications (49%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Kamal K Dewan maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 226 decided applications, the examiner issued allowances on 111 and abandonments on 115, yielding an allowance rate of 49%. The allowance rate across the examiner's art units ranges from 48% to 58%. This pooled figure reflects the examiner's combined record and does not represent a prediction for any individual application.
This profile aggregates the examiner's record across multiple art units in TC 2100. Pooled statistics describe historical dispositions and allowance rates across those units combined. An aggregate allowance rate is a summary of past outcomes and is not a forecast of the result in any specific case. Individual art units may show different rates; those are detailed separately on this site.
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 information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 118 decided applications with an interview and 71 without.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Based on 33 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines data-processing methods for specific functions, and processing data by its order or content.
Based on 4 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kamal K Dewan 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: 262 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.
