Examiner Hiep T Nguyen has allowed 1,449 of 1,523 decided applications (95%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Hiep T Nguyen maintains a public record spanning five art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 1,523 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 95%. This figure represents a pooled aggregate: 1,449 allowed applications and 74 abandoned applications. The allowance rate varies across the five art units, ranging from 94% to 98%. This range reflects differences in outcomes among the individual art units, though the pooled figure of 95% describes the overall record across TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes from multiple art units within TC 2100, presenting a single allowance rate across the examiner's entire portfolio in the technology center. The allowance rate describes past decisions on disposed applications and is not a prediction of outcomes on any specific future application. Applicants may review the per-art-unit detail separately to identify the particular art unit handling their matter and observe variation within the examiner's record.
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 Hiep T 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: 1,546 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.
