// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates dispositions across multiple art units within a technology center. The allowance rate represents the percentage of applications decided (allowed or abandoned) and reflects past outcomes only. Pooled figures do not predict results in any specific application. Art units may have different allowance rates; this overall figure is a combined snapshot and is not a substitute for art-unit-specific analysis when available.

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 Lilian Vo 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: 57 applications.
