Examiner Ellen C Tran has allowed 73 of 103 decided applications (71%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Ellen C Tran maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 103 disposed applications, 73 were allowed and 30 abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 71%. This rate reflects decisions on applications already closed in the record; it does not include pending filings. The examiner's work spans a single art unit (2134), meaning the pooled figures represent work within one organizational unit rather than an aggregate across multiple areas.
A pooled record aggregates all applications and outcomes across an examiner's assigned art units. The allowance rate describes the proportion of decided cases (allowed plus abandoned) in the historical record. This figure is a description of past dispositions and is not a prediction about the outcome of any particular application. Individual applications may have distinct characteristics that affect their own prosecution.
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 network security, and computer and data security.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 40 decided applications with an interview and 63 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ellen C 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: 103 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.
