Examiner Namitha Pillai has allowed 274 of 466 decided applications (59%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Namitha Pillai maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning three art units. Across 466 disposed applications, 274 were allowed, yielding a 59% allowance rate. The examiner's allowance rate ranges from 46% to 64% across these art units. This pooled figure reflects decisions rendered across multiple distinct art-unit categories within TC 2100, aggregating the record without attribution to any single unit.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record combines applications and decisions from multiple art units into a single aggregate profile. The overall allowance rate describes past dispositions across all assigned art units and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Because different art units cover distinct subject matter, allowance rates often vary by unit. The range provided illustrates this variation; the pooled rate reflects the combined record across all units.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Namitha Pillai 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: 466 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.
