What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Uzma Alam maintains a public record across one art unit in Technology Center 2400. Across hundreds of decided applications, the allowance rate is 77%. This rate reflects the percentage of applications in the examiner's pooled record that were allowed or abandoned, excluding pending applications. The examiner's decided applications span a single art unit, and the pooled allowance rate represents all completed applications across that unit's subject matter during the period covered by this public record.

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's record across all assigned art units into a single pooled statistic. The allowance rate of 77% describes the examiner's historical record on decided applications and is not a prediction about any specific application. Pooled figures mask variation within individual art units; separate unit-level data, where available, may show different rates. Allowance rates are correlational snapshots, not causal indicators of prosecution outcomes.

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 Uzma Alam 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: 370 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.
