Examiner Denise Tran has allowed 355 of 404 decided applications (88%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Denise Tran has a public record across 5 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 404 decided applications, she has allowed 355 and abandoned 49, for an overall allowance rate of 88%. The allowance rate ranges from 78% to 92% across these art units, reflecting variation in outcomes across the different subject areas within the technology center. This pooled figure represents the aggregate record across all her assigned art units.
This pooled record aggregates results across 5 separate art units within TC 2100. The overall 88% allowance rate is a historical summary of decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Because different art units cover different subject matter, variation exists among them. Aggregate figures describe the past record only and do not forecast any individual case.
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.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Denise 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: 404 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.
