What the data says.reading this examiner

Emad H Siddiqi maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 spanning one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 66%, representing the share of applications issued as allowed or abandoned among all decided cases. This rate reflects the examiner's historical record of disposal decisions. The pooled figure aggregates outcomes from the single art unit served and describes past application dispositions without predicting outcomes for any prospective case.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all decided applications across the examiner's assigned art units. The 66% allowance rate is a historical measure of allowed and abandoned applications as a fraction of all decided cases—not a forecast for any individual application. Pooled figures describe past patterns of disposition and are correlational only. They do not account for application-specific factors, claim scope, art rejection grounds, or examiner guidance issued after the measurement period.

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 Emad H Siddiqi 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: 269 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.
