// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Zeerick Asim Malik's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), covering one art unit. The record shows 20 total applications. No applications have been allowed, abandoned, or disposed; all 20 remain pending. Because no decisions have been rendered, no allowance rate can be calculated. The pooled record reflects filings within TC 2100 and does not forecast outcomes on any pending matter.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates statistics across all art units under an examiner's jurisdiction. The figures presented describe past dispositions only and are not predictions about any specific application. When no decisions have been rendered, allowance rates cannot be computed. Aggregate historical data characterizes an examiner's record to date but does not determine the outcome of any individual case under examination.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Zeerick Asim Malik 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: 20 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
