Examiner Kim T Nguyen has allowed 1,035 of 1,195 decided applications (87%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Kim T Nguyen has a public record spanning 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 1,195 decided applications, 1,035 were allowed, yielding an 87% allowance rate. The allowance rate ranges from 80% to 91% across these art units. A total of 1,216 applications have been docketed. The record reflects outcomes on applications that have received final disposition; it does not include pending applications and is not a prediction of any specific application.
This examiner's record is pooled across multiple art units in TC 2100, meaning the 87% allowance rate aggregates different subject areas and examination patterns. Pooled figures describe historical outcomes and do not predict the result of any individual application. The range (80% to 91%) indicates variation among the art units; per-art-unit detail is available separately. Allowance rate is computed only from decided applications, excluding pending cases.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kim T Nguyen 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: 1,216 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.
