Examiner Ramesh B Patel has allowed 1,411 of 1,533 decided applications (92%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Ramesh B Patel maintains a public record across four art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,533 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 1,411 and abandoned 122, for an allowance rate of 92%. The allowance rate across the examiner's art units ranges from 90% to 95%. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across all assigned art units and reflects historical decisions on applications that have been decided.
A pooled record combines data from multiple art units into a single aggregate. The allowance rate of 92% describes past dispositions across all art units worked and is not a prediction for any individual application. Allowance rates vary by art unit; the range shown (90% to 95%) reflects this variation but does not identify which specific art unit has which rate. Pooled statistics describe the examiner's overall record, not outcomes on any particular case.
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 electric power networks, supply, and distribution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 199 decided applications with an interview and 381 without.
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 107 decided applications with an interview and 379 without.
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 64 decided applications with an interview and 402 without.
Based on 1 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ramesh B 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: 1,533 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.
