Examiner Shewaye Gelagay

What the data says.

Examiner Shewaye Gelagay holds a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 68 disposed applications, the examiner issued 27 allowances and 41 abandonments, for an allowance rate of 40%. This rate reflects decided cases only and does not include pending applications. The pooled figure aggregates outcomes across both art units and describes the examiner's past record without predicting outcomes in any specific case.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, presenting an overall historical snapshot rather than a per-unit breakdown. The allowance rate of 40% is calculated from all decided applications across both art units combined. This aggregate figure describes what occurred in the past and is not a prediction of how any individual application will be examined or decided. Art-unit-specific rates, where available separately, may differ 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 →

The record, art unit by art unit.

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.
