Examiner Backhean Tiv has allowed 15 of 40 decided applications (38%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Backhean Tiv's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 40 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 15 and abandoned 25, yielding an allowance rate of 38%. This rate describes past outcomes across a single art unit and reflects the proportion of decided applications that resulted in allowance. The figure is pooled across the examiner's entire caseload in TC 2100 and does not indicate performance in any particular application.
A pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units where an examiner has worked. The allowance rate shown is a historical summary of decided cases and reflects what has occurred, not a prediction about any specific future application. Applicants review pooled data to understand aggregate patterns; individual cases vary based on claim scope, prior art, and examination facts unique to each application.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Backhean Tiv 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: 40 applications.

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.
