// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Syed J Ali maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 30 decided applications, the examiner issued 20 allowances and 10 abandonments, yielding an allowance rate of 67%. This rate reflects the proportion of allowed applications among all disposed (decided) cases in the examiner's pooled record. The 67% figure is based on the complete set of applications that have received a final disposition—either allowance or abandonment—and does not include any pending applications.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, producing an overall allowance rate that summarizes past dispositions without distinguishing outcomes by individual art unit. The 67% allowance rate describes what occurred across all 30 decided applications in this examiner's portfolio. This historical rate is descriptive only and is not a prediction of the outcome in any particular application. Art-unit-specific records appear separately and may vary from the pooled aggregate.

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 →
