// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record is pooled across all art units under the examiner's purview. When an examiner manages multiple art units, the aggregate allowance rate and disposal counts reflect a blend of examination activity across different subject-matter areas. The figures shown here describe what has occurred in the past and are correlational data—they are not predictive of outcomes in any specific case. Individual applications may experience different patterns based on claim scope, prior art, and other case-specific factors.

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 Hung D Le 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: 1,297 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.
