// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction. The 51% allowance rate reflects past dispositions across 187 decided applications and describes the historical rate at which applications have been allowed. Aggregate figures do not predict outcomes in any individual application. Different art units may have different allowance rates; the pooled figure shows only the combined record across all assignments.

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 David V 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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 208 applications.

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.
