What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Reza Aghevli maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400, spanning one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 87%. This figure represents the share of applications that resulted in allowance among all decided applications (allowed and abandoned cases), excluding pending matters. The 87% allowance rate reflects the examiner's pooled historical record and is presented as a factual summary of past dispositions across the art unit covered.

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates decisions across all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction. The pooled allowance rate of 87% describes past outcomes and reflects the composition and resolution of applications examined. Aggregate figures do not forecast the outcome of any individual application. Art-unit pooling means the rate reflects a mix of different subject areas and application characteristics. Historical statistics are correlational data, not predictions.

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 Reza Aghevli 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: 919 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.
