Examiner Syed J Ali has allowed 20 of 30 decided applications (67%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
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.
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 →
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Syed J Ali 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: 30 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.
