Examiner Nargis Sultana has allowed 157 of 254 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Nargis Sultana maintains a public record across three art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 254 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 157 and abandoned 97, yielding an allowance rate of 62%. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 58% to 68%. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate record in TC 2100 and reflects outcomes across multiple distinct art units rather than a single, uniform examination approach.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's performance across multiple art units within a technology center. The overall allowance rate (62%) describes historical outcomes on decided applications and is not predictive of any individual case. The range (58% to 68%) indicates that allowance rates differ among the examiner's constituent art units. Pooled figures are useful for understanding an examiner's general record but do not account for variation by specific art unit or application characteristics.
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.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 95 decided applications with an interview and 75 without.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Nargis Sultana 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: 254 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.
