Examiner Zubair Ahmed has allowed 475 of 649 decided applications (73%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Zubair Ahmed maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 649 disposed applications, the allowance rate stands at 73%. This figure represents the share of decided cases—allowed and abandoned combined—and excludes pending matters. The examiner's record spans art units 2132 and 2182 within TC 2100. Of 688 total applications in the record, 475 were allowed and 174 abandoned. These figures describe the historical record only and are not predictive of outcomes in any individual application.
A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units, smoothing unit-level variation into a single overall profile. The allowance rate of 73% reflects past dispositions across all assigned art units and describes historical outcomes, not predictions. Aggregate figures mask differences among individual art units. This pooled snapshot is useful for understanding an examiner's overall record but does not forecast the result of any particular application or predict how the examiner will act on any specific filing.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 319 decided applications with an interview and 327 without.
Primarily examines data-processing methods for specific functions, and processing data by its order or content.
Based on 3 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Zubair Ahmed 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: 688 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.
