Examiner Sumil Manubhai Desai has allowed 46 of 65 decided applications (71%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Sumil Manubhai Desai maintains a public record of 65 disposed applications across Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 46 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 71%. The examiner's record spans three art units within TC 2100. Allowance rates across these art units range from 71% to 82%, reflecting variation in the decided caseload composition across different areas within the technology center. This pooled figure represents the aggregate outcome across all three art units combined.
This pooled record aggregates applications across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 71% allowance rate describes past outcomes on 65 decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Because the record combines different art units, the overall figure masks variation—individual art units show allowance rates between 71% and 82%. Separate per-unit records provide detail on allowance rates within each art unit. Pooled data describe historical performance only.
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 computer-aided design (CAD).
Based on 34 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Based on 21 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines control or regulating systems, and electric power networks.
Based on 10 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sumil Manubhai Desai 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: 65 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.
