Examiner Sabana Rahman has allowed 73 of 156 decided applications (47%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Sabana Rahman maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 156 disposed applications, 73 were allowed and 83 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 47%. This rate reflects the examiner's decisions on applications that reached final disposition. The pooled figure aggregates outcomes across both art units and does not isolate performance in any particular subject area within TC 2100.
A pooled record combines data from multiple art units into a single aggregate allowance rate. This figure describes the examiner's historical decision pattern across all assigned units and is not a prediction of outcomes in any specific application. The 47% rate reflects past dispositions and provides context for the examiner's overall practice, but each application's outcome depends on its own facts and claims.
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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sabana Rahman 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: 156 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.
