Examiner Zuheir Mheir has allowed 64 of 79 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Zuheir Mheir's public record spans 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 79 decided applications, the allowance rate is 81%. Of 98 total applications, 64 were allowed and 15 were abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 79% to 89% across the examiner's art units, reflecting variation in the records within individual art units. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across all art units in which the examiner maintains a substantial record.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's performance across multiple art units, producing a single allowance rate rather than separate rates per art unit. This aggregate describes the historical record and does not function as a prediction for any specific application. Different art units may have different allowance rates; the range provided here reflects that internal variation. Pooled figures are useful for understanding an examiner's overall pattern across their assigned subject matter.
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 45 decided applications with an interview and 23 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Based on 28 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Zuheir Mheir 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: 98 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.
