// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record is a pooled aggregate across all art units assigned to the examiner. The allowance rate and application counts describe historical dispositions, not predictions for any particular filing. Aggregate figures mask variation across individual art units—different technology areas within TC 2100 may show different rates. This statistic is correlational only; it reflects past outcomes without implying causation or forecasting any specific application's disposition.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ziaul A. Chowdhury 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: 678 applications.
