What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Nick Anon Sundara's public record spans a small number of decided applications in Technology Center 2400. Across this pooled record, the allowance rate is 100%, meaning all decided applications in the examiner's portfolio have been allowed. The examiner works in one art unit. This allowance rate reflects historical outcomes on applications that have reached a final disposition—either allowed or abandoned—and does not describe pending applications or forecast results on any particular case.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates decisions across one art unit within TC 2400. The 100% allowance rate describes what occurred in the examiner's past decided applications and is a historical statistic only. Aggregate figures do not predict outcomes on specific applications, which depend on individual claim scope, prior art, and prosecution history. Pooled statistics describe patterns across many cases but cannot be applied to forecast any single matter.

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 →

Questions about Examiner Nick Anon Sundara

  • What is Examiner Sundara's allowance rate?
    The allowance rate is 100% across a small number of decided applications in the examiner's pooled record in TC 2400. This means all applications that reached a final disposition were allowed.
  • How many art units does this examiner work in?
    The examiner's public record covers one art unit within Technology Center 2400.
  • Does this allowance rate predict the outcome of my application?
    No. The pooled allowance rate is a historical statistic and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual results depend on claim scope, prior art, and the particular prosecution history.
  • Why is the sample described as 'a small number' rather than a specific count?
    The decided-application count is presented using a magnitude phrase to protect statistical reliability when sample sizes are very small. The full numerical counts appear in the page's data tables.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Nick Anon Sundara 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: 52 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.
