The record reflects the examiner's public history in this technology center and does not constitute a prediction for any future application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record is pooled across multiple art units, meaning it combines the examiner's decisions in different subject-matter groups within TC 2100. Aggregate allowance rates describe historical outcomes and do not predict results on any individual application. The allowance rate is computed as a share of decided (disposed) applications only—it excludes pending cases. Understanding a pooled record requires recognizing that it reflects cumulative experience across distinct art units rather than performance in a single specialty.

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 Duyen My Doan 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: 87 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.
