Examiner Hoang Vu A Nguyen Ba has allowed 124 of 152 decided applications (82%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Hoang Vu A Nguyen Ba maintains a public record of 152 disposed applications across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 124 were allowed and 28 were abandoned, yielding an overall allowance rate of 82%. The examiner's allowance rate ranges from 68% to 84% across the art units represented in the record. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's activity across both art units and reflects historical disposition data only.
A pooled allowance rate aggregates an examiner's record across multiple art units, combining applications from different subject areas into a single historical metric. The overall figure describes what occurred in past applications and is not predictive of the outcome in any specific pending case. The range shown reflects variation among the individual art units; the pooled rate itself is a weighted average across all disposed applications in 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.
Primarily examines software engineering.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 20 decided applications with an interview and 110 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Hoang Vu A Nguyen Ba 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: 152 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.
