// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This is a pooled record aggregating all art units under this examiner's assignment. The 58% allowance rate describes past outcomes among 167 decided applications and reflects the historical distribution of allowances and abandonments. Pooled figures do not break down by individual art unit and are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate statistics describe the record; they do not indicate how any particular case will be examined or decided.

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 Henry K Nguyen 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: 211 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.
