A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, presenting an overall allowance rate that reflects the examiner's combined history. The allowance rate is computed from decided (disposed) applications and does not include pending cases. Figures in a pooled profile describe past record only and are not predictions about any specific application's outcome. Individual art-unit performance may vary from the aggregate.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Masud K Khan 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: 540 applications.
