// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates Examiner Tran's record across one art unit in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 29% describes the proportion of decided applications that were allowed in the past. Pooled figures do not isolate individual art units or subject-matter specialties, and they are historical summaries only. Aggregate statistics are not forecasts of outcomes in any particular case and do not account for application-specific facts or prosecution history.

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 Kenneth Phuoc Tran 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: 54 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.
