Examiner Samir Wadie Rizk has allowed 1,592 of 1,749 decided applications (91%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Samir Wadie Rizk maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 1,749 disposed applications, 1,592 were allowed, yielding a 91% allowance rate. Allowance rates across the examiner's art units range from 82% to 91%. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across different art-unit assignments and reflects historical disposition data only.
This record is pooled across multiple art units, meaning it combines applications from different subject areas within TC 2100. The aggregate allowance rate (91% of 1,749 decided applications) describes the examiner's past record and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units within the examiner's portfolio may have different allowance rates; those details appear separately. Aggregate statistics do not forecast results on any particular filing.
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.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 322 decided applications with an interview and 1,376 without.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Samir Wadie Rizk 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: 1,749 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.
