// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Mohammad Ali has a pooled allowance rate of 61% across 236 decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans 6 art units: 2119, 2127, 2158, 2166, 2167, and 2177. Among these art units, allowance rates range from 0% to 78%, reflecting variation in the examiner's record across different subject-matter areas within TC 2100. The pooled figure aggregates all decided cases—143 allowed and 93 abandoned—and does not represent a prediction for any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates an examiner's performance across multiple art units into a single overall statistic. The allowance rate of 61% reflects decided cases only and represents past disposition history, not a forecast of future outcomes on any specific application. The range (0% to 78%) shows that outcomes vary meaningfully across the examiner's different art-unit assignments, so pooled data describes the examiner's aggregate pattern rather than performance in any single area.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Mohammad Ali 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: 241 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
