Examiner Debbie M Le has allowed 990 of 1,117 decided applications (89%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Debbie M Le maintains a public record across 4 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,117 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 89%. This rate reflects 990 allowed applications and 127 abandoned applications. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 67% to 90%. The pooled figure aggregates outcomes across all four art units and describes the examiner's historical record only.
A pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units into a single profile. The overall allowance rate of 89% describes past outcomes across all art units combined and does not predict the result of any specific application. The range (67% to 90%) shows variation among individual art units but does not identify which rate applies to any particular unit. Pooled statistics are correlational summaries of historical dispositions, not causal indicators or forecasts.
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.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 445 decided applications with an interview and 611 without.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Debbie M Le 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: 1,135 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.
