Examiner Lokesha G Patel has allowed 60 of 77 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Lokesha G Patel holds a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning one art unit. Across 77 disposed applications, the examiner issued 60 allowances, yielding an allowance rate of 78%. The record encompasses 100 total applications; 17 were abandoned. This pooled figure reflects decisions made across the examiner's art-unit assignments and represents the examiner's historical allowance rate over the decided application count, not a prediction for any individual case.
This record aggregates all applications across the examiner's art units in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 78% describes past dispositions over a specific application count and reflects historical outcomes, not forecasts. Pooled figures mask variation within individual art units; separate art-unit data may reveal different rates. Aggregate statistics describe what occurred, not what will occur in any pending or future application.

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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 54 decided applications with an interview and 23 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Lokesha G 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. 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: 100 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.
