// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Oluwatosin O Alabi maintains a pooled allowance rate of 62% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). The examiner's record spans four art units: 2123, 2124, 2126, and 2129. Allowance rates across these art units range from 34% to 73%, reflecting variation in outcomes by art unit. This pooled figure represents the share of allowed applications among all decided (allowed and abandoned) cases in the examiner's record and does not constitute a prediction for any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates an examiner's outcomes across multiple art units within a technology center. The overall allowance rate reflects historical outcomes across all decided applications in that combined pool and describes past dispositions only. Per-art-unit allowance rates may differ substantially from the pooled figure. Pooled statistics are historical descriptors, not predictive tools for any specific application, and do not account for application-specific facts, claim scope, or prosecution strategy.

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

The record, art unit by art unit.

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.

// FAQ

Questions about Examiner Oluwatosin O Alabi

  • What is Examiner Alabi's overall allowance rate?
    The examiner's pooled allowance rate is 62%, meaning 62% of decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) across all four art units were allowed.
  • How many art units does this examiner cover?
    The examiner maintains a record across four art units (2123, 2124, 2126, 2129) within TC 2100.
  • Does the allowance rate vary by art unit?
    Yes. Allowance rates across the examiner's art units range from 34% to 73%, indicating variation in outcomes by art unit. The pooled 62% figure aggregates all four.
  • What does this pooled record mean for my application?
    This record describes past outcomes across hundreds of decided applications and is not a prediction for any specific application. Individual results depend on claim scope, prior art, and prosecution details.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Oluwatosin O Alabi 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: 276 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.
