Examiner Michael H Hoang has allowed 78 of 145 decided applications (54%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Michael H Hoang's public record spans one art unit within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 199 total applications, 145 have been disposed (allowed or abandoned). Of those 145 decided applications, 78 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 54%. The record reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition; 54 applications remain pending and are excluded from the allowance-rate calculation.
This pooled record aggregates data across all of the examiner's art units and reports outcomes on applications already decided. The allowance rate of 54% describes the historical ratio of allowed to decided applications in that population. Aggregate figures describe past dispositions and do not serve as predictions about any specific application's outcome. Individual art-unit records, where available, may show variation from the pooled rate.
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.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 89 decided applications with an interview and 56 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Michael H Hoang 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: 199 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.
