What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Wasika Nipa has a public record in Technology Center 2400 spanning one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner issued allowances in 81% of cases. This rate is the percentage of applications that were allowed or abandoned, excluding pending matters. The pooled figure reflects the examiner's historical record across all art units under this examiner's jurisdiction and does not apply predictively to any individual application.

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's record across all art units within TC 2400. The overall allowance rate of 81% describes past outcomes on decided applications—those allowed or abandoned—and does not constitute a prediction for any specific pending case. Pooled data masks variation by art unit; individual applications may fall under different examination conditions and subject matter within the technology center.

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 Wasika Nipa 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.
