// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Baotran N To maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across dozens of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 57 percent. This rate reflects the share of applications that resulted in allowance among all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined), excluding pending cases. The examiner's practice spans a single art unit within TC 2100. The 57 percent allowance rate is a historical statistic describing past dispositions and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates all decisions across the examiner's assigned art units, presenting a pooled allowance rate rather than per-unit breakdowns. The 57 percent figure describes the historical proportion of allowed applications among all decided cases and reflects past patterns only. Aggregate statistics describe what has occurred, not what will occur in any particular case. Individual application outcomes depend on claim scope, prior art, and examiner analysis specific to each filing.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Baotran N To 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 July 14, 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: 63 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.
