Examiner Meseker Takele has allowed 103 of 243 decided applications (42%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Meseker Takele has disposed of 243 applications across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 103 were allowed and 140 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 42%. The examiner's record spans multiple subject areas within TC 2100. Allowance rates across the art units range from 36% to 46%, reflecting variation in the decided-application composition and outcomes within this examiner's portfolio.
This record aggregates results across three art units, pooling applications and outcomes into a single allowance figure. The 42% rate is a summary of past decisions on 243 applications already closed—allowed or abandoned. This pooled statistic describes what occurred historically and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units within TC 2100 show different allowance rates; the overall figure masks that variation.
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 Meseker Takele 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: 243 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.
