Examiner Usmaan Saeed has allowed 106 of 211 decided applications (50%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Usmaan Saeed maintains a public record of 227 total applications across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 211 disposed applications, 106 were allowed, for an overall allowance rate of 50%. The examiner's work spans multiple art units within TC 2100, and allowance rates across these units range from 18% to 86%. This pooled figure reflects the combined record and does not represent any single art unit's outcome distribution.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record aggregates applications and dispositions across multiple art units, masking variation among them. The overall allowance rate of 50% describes past decided applications and is not a prediction about any specific future application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may differ substantially from this aggregate figure. Pooled statistics are historical summaries 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 information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 76 decided applications with an interview and 83 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 38 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Based on 30 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Usmaan Saeed 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: 227 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.
