Examiner Md Abul K Azad has allowed 582 of 704 decided applications (83%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Md Abul K Azad maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 704 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 582, for an 83% allowance rate. The allowance rate ranges from 70% to 86% across the examiner's art units. This pooled record reflects decisions rendered over the examiner's career in TC 2100 and does not constitute a prediction of outcomes in any individual pending application.
This examiner's record is pooled across multiple art units in TC 2100, aggregating different subject areas and examination contexts. The 83% allowance rate describes past decisions on 704 closed applications and represents a historical average, not a forecast. Pooled figures smooth variation across art units; individual art-unit records appear separately and may differ materially 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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Md Abul K Azad 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: 742 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.
