What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Hadi S Armouche maintains a pooled allowance rate of 69% across decided applications in Technology Center 2400. This rate is based on hundreds of decided applications spanning three art units: 2419, 2432, and 2497. The allowance rate ranges from 67% to 71% across these art units. The pooled figure represents applications that were either allowed or abandoned; pending applications are excluded from this calculation. This public record reflects historical outcomes and does not constitute a prediction of any specific application's disposition.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled allowance rate aggregates outcomes across multiple art units, smoothing variations in individual-unit records into a single figure. The 69% rate describes past performance across hundreds of decided applications and reflects the examiner's aggregate record in Technology Center 2400. The range (67% to 71%) illustrates that allowance rates vary by art unit. Pooled figures describe historical data only and are not predictions of outcomes in any particular application or art unit.

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 Hadi S Armouche 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: 298 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.
