What the data says.reading this examiner

Hassan A Hussein maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across one art unit. His pooled allowance rate is 63% across hundreds of decided applications. This figure represents the share of applications that were allowed among all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) in his record. The 63% rate is a historical aggregate across the art units in which he has examined; it describes past decisions and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates examination activity across multiple art units within a technology center. The allowance rate shown here is the combined result of all decided applications across those units and reflects the examiner's historical practice. Aggregate figures describe what has occurred in the past and are correlational summaries, not predictive tools for any individual case or filing strategy.

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 Hassan A Hussein 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: 209 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.
