Examiner Tarek Chbouki has allowed 736 of 913 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Tarek Chbouki holds a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 913 disposed applications, the examiner issued allowances in 736 cases, for an allowance rate of 81%. The record spans art units 2165 and 2169. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across both units and reflects historical outcomes on decided applications—those allowed or abandoned. Pending applications are excluded from the allowance-rate calculation.
This examiner's record is pooled across multiple art units within TC 2100, meaning the figures combine outcomes from different subject areas. The 81% allowance rate describes past decisions on 913 disposed applications and is a historical aggregate, not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled data reflects the examiner's overall disposition across all units worked; individual art-unit records, where available separately, may vary from this 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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Tarek Chbouki 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: 942 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.
