// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's record is pooled across multiple art units, meaning the allowance rate aggregates outcomes from different subject-matter groups. The 68% figure describes what occurred in past applications across those units combined. Aggregate historical rates are not predictions of outcomes in any individual application 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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ba Huynh has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 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: 223 applications.
