Examiner Raheem Hoffler has allowed 290 of 477 decided applications (61%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Raheem Hoffler holds a public record across four art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 477 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 290 and abandoned 187, yielding an overall allowance rate of 61%. Allowance rates across the examiner's individual art units range from 34% to 95%, reflecting variation in the record by subject matter within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates these distinct units and describes the historical record only.
A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units and reflects past dispositions in aggregate form. The overall allowance rate of 61% describes what occurred across all decided applications in this examiner's history; it is not a prediction about any specific application. Individual art units within TC 2100 show different allowance rates. Aggregate statistics describe historical patterns, not outcomes for individual cases.
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 Raheem Hoffler 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: 477 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.
