Examiner Ziaul A. Chowdhury has allowed 578 of 648 decided applications (89%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Ziaul A. Chowdhury maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across his single art unit, 648 applications have been disposed. Of those decided applications, 578 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 89%. Seventy applications were abandoned. The examiner's record spans 678 total applications, including those still pending.

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. 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.

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.
