What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Vivek Srivastava maintains a pooled allowance rate of 18% across dozens of decided applications in Technology Center 2400. His record spans four art units: 2423, 2433, 2445, and 2449. The allowance rate—the share of decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) that were allowed—reflects outcomes across this broad subject-matter portfolio. Allowance rates among individual art units range from 0% to 30%. This pooled figure aggregates work across multiple art units and represents the historical record of applications that have reached a final disposition.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled allowance rate combines outcomes from multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. This statistic describes the examiner's past record across the specified technology center and art units—it is historical data, not a prediction for any pending or future application. Variations in allowance rates across individual art units reflect differences in examination patterns by art unit; the pooled rate provides overall context but does not predict outcomes in any specific case or art unit.

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 →

// FAQ

Questions about Examiner Vivek Srivastava

  • What is Examiner Srivastava's overall allowance rate?
    The examiner's pooled allowance rate is 18% across dozens of decided applications in Technology Center 2400. This is the share of decided applications (allowed and abandoned) that received an allowance.
  • How many art units does this examiner cover?
    Examiner Srivastava maintains a record across four art units: 2423, 2433, 2445, and 2449, all within Technology Center 2400.
  • What is the range of allowance rates across the examiner's art units?
    Allowance rates range from 0% to 30% across the examiner's art units with a substantial record. This range reflects variation in examination outcomes by individual art unit within the broader technology center.
  • Does this pooled rate predict the outcome of my application?
    No. The pooled allowance rate is a historical aggregate and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Actual results depend on the application's merits, the specific art unit, and other case-specific factors.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Vivek Srivastava 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: 97 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.
