Examiner Shirin S Alizadeh has allowed 17 of 21 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Shirin S Alizadeh maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 21 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 17 and abandoned 4, yielding an 81% allowance rate. This figure represents decisions on applications that have been resolved; it does not include any pending filings. The record spans multiple art units within TC 2100, aggregating examination activity across different invention categories within the technology center's scope.
This pooled record combines examination data across multiple art units. The 81% allowance rate describes past decisions on closed applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate figures obscure variations that may exist between individual art units; a separate section provides per-art-unit detail. Pooled statistics reflect historical volume and decision patterns but do not determine prosecution of any single case.
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 software engineering, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Based on 12 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Based on 9 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Shirin S Alizadeh 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: 21 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.
