// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, if applicable, and presents an overall snapshot of the examiner's historical dispositions. The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only—applications allowed and abandoned—and excludes pending cases. Aggregate figures describe the past record and are not predictions about outcomes in any specific application. Individual art-unit records, when available separately, provide granular detail.

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 Shanto Abedin 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: 60 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.
