// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Saleh Najjar has a public record of 46 disposed applications across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those 46 decided applications, 33 were allowed and 13 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 72%. This rate is calculated from applications with final decisions—allowed and abandoned combined—and does not include any pending matters. The pooled figure spans multiple art units and represents the examiner's aggregate record in this technology center.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates data across three art units, producing a single allowance rate that reflects the examiner's combined history in TC 2100. The 72% figure describes outcomes on decided applications only and is based on historical dispositions. Pooled rates across multiple art units do not isolate performance in any single art unit and do not forecast the outcome of any new or pending application. The statistic is historical summary only.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Saleh Najjar 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: 46 applications.

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.
