// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units under an examiner's jurisdiction. The allowance rate shown is the percentage of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) and describes the past record only. This aggregate figure does not predict the outcome of any specific application, which depends on claim scope, prior art, written description sufficiency, and other application-specific factors. Pooled statistics provide historical context but are not probative of any individual 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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Soumya Dasgupta 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: 155 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.
