What the data says.reading this examiner

Mohammad J Rahman maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across one art unit. The pooled allowance rate is 80%, calculated from decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) and excluding pending cases. This figure represents the examiner's overall rate across all art units in the record. The decided application set spans hundreds of cases. The allowance rate is stated as a historical measure of past dispositions and does not characterize future outcomes on any individual application.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units where the examiner has decided applications. The allowance rate of 80% describes past dispositions across the entire set of decided cases and is not a prediction for any specific application. Pooled figures mask variation that may exist within individual art units; art-unit-level data, where available separately, may reveal different rates within particular technology areas. Aggregate statistics describe historical record 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 Mohammad J Rahman 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: 978 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.
