Examiner Hanh B Thai has allowed 865 of 1,012 decided applications (85%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Hanh B Thai maintains a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 1,012 disposed applications—those decided as either allowed or abandoned—865 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 85%. The examiner's record spans art units 2161, 2163, and 2171. Allowance rates across these art units range from 64% to 86%, reflecting variation in the examiner's decisions within the technology center.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, producing an overall allowance rate that describes past decisions in aggregate. The range—from 64% to 86%—reflects the dispersion of allowance rates among the examiner's art units but does not identify which specific art unit produced which rate. Aggregate historical figures describe what occurred; they are not predictions about outcomes in any individual application or art unit.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Hanh B Thai 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: 1,045 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.
