Examiner Cindy Nguyen has allowed 662 of 851 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Cindy Nguyen has a public record spanning three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across these units, 851 applications have been decided (allowed or abandoned), of which 662 were allowed, yielding a pooled allowance rate of 78%. The allowance rate varies across the three art units, ranging from 71% to 98%. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate record and reflects decisions rendered across the full breadth of her assigned subject matter.
A pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units, combining different subject-matter areas into one overall figure. The 78% allowance rate is a summary statistic of past decisions across all three art units and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application. Individual art units may have different rates; the range reflects this variation. Pooled figures are descriptive of historical record only.
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 Cindy Nguyen 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: 874 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.
