What the data says.reading this examiner

Kashif Siddiqui maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 95%, meaning that of all applications with final dispositions (allowed or abandoned), 95% were allowed. This rate is computed from the pooled record and reflects outcomes on completed applications. The record does not include pending applications or any indication of timing, interview activity, or claim-amendment patterns.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to an examiner and presents a single allowance rate as a historical average. This aggregate figure describes what has occurred in the examiner's past caseload and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Allowance rate alone does not indicate examination rigor, claim complexity, or prosecution dynamics—it is a descriptive statistic of final dispositions only.

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 Kashif Siddiqui 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: 850 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.
