Examiner Sanjiv Shah has allowed 73 of 130 decided applications (56%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Sanjiv Shah's public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spans five art units: 2135, 2166, 2172, 2176, and 2185. Across 130 disposed applications, 73 were allowed and 57 abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 56%. The allowance rate varies across his art units, ranging from 0% to 86%. This pooled figure represents his aggregate historical record across all five art units and does not predict outcomes in any specific application.
This record aggregates Sanjiv Shah's work across five separate art units within TC 2100. A pooled allowance rate describes past dispositions and reflects the examiner's overall history across multiple technology areas. The range (0% to 86%) illustrates variation among individual art units but does not indicate which rates apply to which units. These figures are historical and are not predictions of any specific application's outcome.
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.
Primarily examines general computer details, and program control and execution.
Based on 20 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Based on 19 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 4 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sanjiv Shah 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: 130 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.
