What the data says.

David Hoang Tran maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Across 15 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 2, for an allowance rate of 13%. The record covers 59 total applications, of which 13 were abandoned. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes from art units 2121 and 2147 and reflects decided cases only; pending applications are excluded from the allowance-rate calculation.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all applications and outcomes across multiple art units into a single profile. The allowance rate shown here—13%—describes the examiner's past dispositions and is calculated only from decided applications, not from the full filing count. This aggregate figure does not predict the outcome of any specific application, nor does it account for differences in art-unit complexity 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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner David Hoang Tran 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: 59 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
