// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across all assigned art units within TC 2100. The 74% allowance rate describes historical dispositions—allowed and abandoned applications combined—among all decided cases. Pooled figures reflect past activity and are descriptive only; they are not predictions of outcomes in individual applications, nor do they account for variation across different art units or application characteristics.

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 Binh K Luu 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: 132 applications.
