What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Sayed Aresh Beheshti Shirazi maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across one art unit. The examiner's pooled allowance rate stands at 76% across hundreds of decided applications. This rate represents the share of applications that were allowed among all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined), with pending applications excluded from the calculation. The examiner's record spans a single art-unit assignment within the technology center.

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's performance across all assigned art units into a single pooled record. The allowance rate of 76% describes past disposition patterns and is not a prediction about any specific application. Pooled figures reflect historical outcomes across diverse application types within the examiner's jurisdiction. Individual applications may experience outcomes that differ from the aggregate statistic.

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 Sayed Aresh Beheshti Shirazi 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: 414 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.
