Examiner Rezwanul Mahmood has allowed 223 of 465 decided applications (48%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Rezwanul Mahmood holds a public record spanning 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 465 decided applications, the examiner's pooled allowance rate is 48%, reflecting 223 allowed applications and 242 abandoned applications. The record across the examiner's art units ranges from 40% to 71% in allowance rates, indicating variation in outcomes by art unit.

A pooled record combines statistics from multiple art units into a single aggregate. The allowance rate reflects decided applications only—those allowed or abandoned—and excludes pending cases. The range (40% to 71%) shows variation among the examiner's individual art units but does not identify which rate applies to any particular unit. Aggregate figures describe past patterns and are not predictions about any specific application or filing.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Rezwanul Mahmood 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: 506 applications.
