What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Amarnauth G Persaud maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2400, spanning hundreds of decided applications. The allowance rate across this pooled record is 82%, meaning that of all applications decided (allowed or abandoned), 82% were allowed. This figure aggregates the examiner's work across both art units and describes the historical rate of allowances in applications that have reached a final disposition. The record reflects outcomes on applications that have concluded prosecution; it does not characterize any pending application or predict individual outcomes.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates an examiner's performance across multiple art units, presenting an overall allowance rate that blends different subject-matter areas under a single technology center. This aggregate rate is a historical summary of concluded applications and reflects past dispositions only. Pooled figures do not predict the outcome of any specific application, nor do they account for variation among individual art units. Applicants seeking detail on a particular art unit may review that unit's separate statistics.

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 Amarnauth G Persaud 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: 440 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.

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.
