Examiner Omar R Abdul-Ali has allowed 426 of 534 decided applications (80%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Omar R Abdul-Ali has a pooled allowance rate of 80% across 534 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His record spans four art units: 2142, 2172, 2173, and 2178. Of the 534 decided applications, 426 were allowed and 108 were abandoned. Allowance rates across these art units range from 44% to 88%, reflecting variation in the composition and outcomes of applications examined within each unit.
This pooled record aggregates applications across four art units within TC 2100. The 80% overall figure represents historical outcomes across all units combined and describes past disposal data, not a prediction for any individual application. Art units may have different allowance rates due to differences in application types, complexity, or subject matter within the technology center. The range indicates this variation.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 67 decided applications with an interview and 336 without.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 15 decided applications with an interview and 37 without.
Based on 43 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Omar R Abdul-Ali 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: 534 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.
