What the data says.reading this examiner

Ayodele Lawrence Olubodun maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 spanning one art unit. Across dozens of decided applications, the examiner's pooled allowance rate is 89%. This rate reflects the share of applications in the examiner's decided pool that were allowed rather than abandoned. The record encompasses applications in a single art unit, and the overall allowance rate describes the examiner's historical disposition across all decided matters in that unit. This figure is a summary of past outcomes and carries no predictive force for any individual pending application.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates outcomes across all of an examiner's art units into a single overall allowance rate. This aggregate describes what has been decided in the past and does not indicate the probable outcome of any specific application. The pooled rate reflects the mix of different subject matters and application circumstances the examiner has handled. Reading this record requires understanding that the figure is historical, correlational, and specific neither to your technology nor to your claims.

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 Ayodele Lawrence Olubodun 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: 64 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.
