// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates all applications decided by this examiner across their assigned art unit(s). The 84% allowance rate describes the past record—the share of decided applications that were allowed—and is calculated from 729 disposed applications (allowed plus abandoned). This aggregate figure does not predict the outcome of any specific application or reflect the disposition of pending cases. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation from the pooled rate.

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 Hanh Thi Minh Bui 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: 763 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
