Examiner Cecile H Vo has allowed 318 of 476 decided applications (67%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Cecile H Vo maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 476 disposed applications, 318 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 67%. This rate reflects decided cases (allowed plus abandoned applications); pending cases are excluded. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 56% to 74%. This range illustrates variation in outcomes within the pooled record. The data presented here describes the examiner's historical record only and does not constitute a prediction for any individual application.
This pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units within TC 2100. The overall allowance rate represents a historical average across all decided applications in those units combined. Pooled figures describe past outcomes and are not predictions about any specific case. To understand how an examiner operates within a particular art unit, review the per-art-unit breakdown available in the detailed section of this profile. Aggregate statistics inform context but do not forecast individual application results.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Cecile H Vo 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: 476 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.
