// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's entire record across all assigned art units, pooling decisions to form an overall allowance rate. The 96% figure describes past outcomes on 52 decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled records mask variation across art units and reflect historical decisions only. Individual art-unit records, where available, offer finer-grained context.

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 Kurosu R Altaf 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.
