What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Alicia Baturay maintains a public record across Technology Center 2400 spanning three art units (2441, 2446, 2453). Across hundreds of decided applications in this pooled record, the allowance rate is 83%, a measure of applications allowed as a share of all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined). The allowance rate ranges from 48% to 100% across these art units, reflecting variation in the examiner's record by subject matter within the technology center. This pooled figure represents the aggregate historical record and does not predict outcomes in any specific application.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled, cross-art-unit record aggregates an examiner's decisions across multiple subject-matter areas into a single overall statistic. The allowance rate reported here is a historical measure—the percentage of decided applications that were allowed—not a forecast of any individual case. The range reflects differences between art units; the overall rate is a composite. Reading pooled data requires understanding that it describes past patterns across different technology areas and does not apply uniformly to every application.

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 →

  • Is the allowance rate the same across all art units?
    No. The allowance rate ranges from 48% to 100% across the examiner's art units, showing variation by subject matter. The 83% overall rate is the pooled average across all three art units.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Alicia Baturay has a public record within Technology Center 2400. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated July 22, 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: 946 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.
