Examiner Hien Dieu Thi Khuu has allowed 271 of 308 decided applications (88%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Hien Dieu Thi Khuu maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Across 308 disposed applications, the examiner has allowed 271, yielding an allowance rate of 88%. The allowance rate ranges from 81% to 89% across the examiner's art units. The examiner's record includes 37 abandoned applications. These figures describe the examiner's historical disposition of applications decided to date and do not constitute a prediction for any pending or future case.
This record aggregates examination activity across multiple art units within TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate of 88% reflects the examiner's overall historical record across decided applications in those units combined. This aggregate figure describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of the outcome in any specific application. Individual art-unit records may vary and are available separately.
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 control or regulating systems.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 150 decided applications with an interview and 110 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 48 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Hien Dieu Thi Khuu 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: 356 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.
