What the data says.reading this examiner

Anish Sikri's public record spans Technology Center 2400 across one art unit. His pooled allowance rate is 62%, meaning that of his decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined), 62% were allowed. This figure is drawn from dozens of decided applications and reflects his historical record in this technology center. The allowance rate represents past outcomes only and does not constitute a prediction for any specific pending or future application.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications Anish Sikri has decided across his art units in TC 2400. The allowance rate of 62% describes his historical output—what percentage of his decided cases resulted in allowance—and is calculated only from applications that reached a final disposition (allowed or abandoned). Pooled figures mask variation across art units and do not forecast outcomes on individual cases.

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 Anish Sikri 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: 63 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.
