// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record is pooled across multiple art units, meaning the figures represent an aggregate of different subject areas within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 40% describes the historical proportion of decided applications that were allowed. Pooled rates do not predict outcomes in any individual case and reflect past dispositions only, not future prosecution results. Individual art-unit records may show variation from the pooled figure.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Samir Termanini 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: 43 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.
