// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units where the examiner works. The allowance rate of 70% describes historical outcomes in decided cases and reflects the mix of applications across those units. Aggregate figures are correlational and are not predictive of outcomes in any specific application. Understanding a pooled record requires recognizing that it combines different subject-matter areas and different case populations.

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 Khanh Q Dinh 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: 155 applications.
