// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Cam Y T Truong maintains a public record spanning 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across more than a thousand decided applications, the examiner's pooled allowance rate is 82%. This rate reflects the share of allowed applications among all decided (allowed and abandoned) applications in the examiner's record. The allowance rate ranges from 74% to 84% across these art units, indicating variation in allowance rates among the different art units under the examiner's review.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's record across multiple art units within TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate of 82% describes the examiner's historical record—the proportion of applications decided as allowed versus abandoned—and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Cross-art-unit aggregates smooth variation between individual art units. Individual art-unit records may differ from the pooled figure and are available separately.

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 Cam Y T Truong 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: 1,153 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.

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.
