// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Mohammad H Kabir maintains a pooled allowance rate of 69% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His record spans 5 art units within this technology center. The allowance rate—the percentage of applications that resulted in allowance among all decided (allowed and abandoned) applications—reflects his overall examination activity across these art units. Allowance rates across individual art units range from 53% to 81%, indicating variation in outcomes by subject matter and art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates examination activity across multiple art units within TC 2100. The overall allowance rate of 69% describes the examiner's historical record across all decided applications in these art units combined. This aggregate figure is a description of past outcomes and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Different art units within the technology center show different allowance rates, and individual application outcomes depend on claim scope, prior art, and application-specific factors.

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 H Kabir 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 July 14, 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: 471 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
