Examiner Suresh Suryawanshi has allowed 1,283 of 1,450 decided applications (88%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Suresh Suryawanshi maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning four art units: 2115, 2116, 2118, and 2121. Across 1,450 decided applications, the examiner allowed 1,283, yielding an 88% allowance rate. The allowance rate ranges from 85% to 95% across these art units. The record reflects a substantial caseload with 167 abandoned applications among the decided total. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across the four art units and does not represent performance in any single unit.
This pooled record combines data from four art units within TC 2100, averaging their outcomes into a single allowance rate. The 88% figure describes historical decisions, not predictions for any individual application. Different art units within the technology center show variation—the range from 85% to 95% reflects that spread. A pooled record is useful for understanding an examiner's overall profile but does not predict disposition of a specific filing or amendment.
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 control or regulating systems.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Suresh Suryawanshi 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: 1,491 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.
