// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all applications across the examiner's assigned art units. The allowance rate shown—69%—describes decisions already made on 388 applications and is a historical summary, not a forecast. Pooled figures do not predict outcomes on individual applications or pending cases. Art-unit composition affects the mix of technologies examined, but pooled statistics report aggregate dispositions only.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Muhammad U Mian 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: 423 applications.

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.
