Examiner Parmanand D Patel has allowed 119 of 208 decided applications (57%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Parmanand D Patel maintains a public record across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 208 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 57%, reflecting 119 allowed and 89 abandoned applications. The allowance rate varies across his art units, ranging from 44% to 70%. This pooled figure aggregates his work across multiple art units and represents his historical record in this technology center.
A pooled record combines the examiner's statistics across all art units where he has a substantial history. The aggregate allowance rate describes past decisions and does not forecast the outcome of any specific application. Because different art units cover different subject matter within TC 2100, individual art-unit rates may differ from the pooled average. Pooled figures provide a broad view of the examiner's overall record.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 86 decided applications with an interview and 24 without.
Primarily examines artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 57 decided applications with an interview and 31 without.

Based on 10 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Parmanand D Patel 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: 208 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.
