Examiner Hung Q Pham has allowed 679 of 845 decided applications (80%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Hung Q Pham holds a public record across 5 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 845 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 679, for an overall allowance rate of 80%. This rate reflects decided cases only (allowed and abandoned combined); pending applications are excluded. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 63% to 84%. This range reflects the different subject-matter distributions and application volumes within each art unit.
This pooled record aggregates results across multiple art units in TC 2100. The 80% allowance rate describes past dispositions across all five art units combined and does not constitute a prediction for any individual application. Different art units within the technology center show different allowance rates (63% to 84%), meaning outcomes may vary by the specific art-unit classification of a given application. Pooled statistics describe historical patterns only.
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 Hung Q Pham 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: 845 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.
