Examiner Dennis Truong has allowed 516 of 684 decided applications (75%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Dennis Truong maintains an overall allowance rate of 75% across 684 decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans three art units: 2152, 2164, and 2169. Of 704 total applications, 516 were allowed and 168 abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 67% to 99% across these art units, reflecting variation in outcomes by subject matter and art-unit classification within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates his record across all three units and describes historical disposition, not prediction of any specific application.
A pooled record combines an examiner's outcomes across multiple art units into a single aggregate statistic. The 75% allowance rate here reflects all decided cases across three separate art units within TC 2100, each of which may have distinct examination patterns. Aggregate figures describe past record only and are not predictive of outcomes in any individual application. Variation across art units (67% to 99%) indicates that subject-matter differences or art-unit-specific factors correlate with different allowance rates in this examiner's history.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Dennis Truong 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: 704 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.
