What the data says.reading this examiner

Salame M Amr maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across one art unit. The examiner's pooled allowance rate is 41% across hundreds of decided applications. This figure represents the share of applications that received an allowance among all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined), with pending applications excluded from the calculation. The record reflects outcomes in the examiner's assigned art unit and provides a snapshot of historical allowance outcomes without indication of what any future application may receive.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates results across all art units assigned to an examiner. The overall allowance rate reflects past decided applications and describes historical outcomes only. Aggregate statistics do not predict the outcome of any specific application, nor do they account for differences in application complexity, claim scope, prior art, or prosecution conduct. Each application's examination proceeds independently based on its own facts, evidence, and arguments.

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 Salame M Amr 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: 111 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.
