Examiner Michael Le has allowed 241 of 472 decided applications (51%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Michael Le's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across one art unit, he has disposed of 472 applications, of which 241 were allowed and 231 were abandoned. His allowance rate is 51% over the decided applications. This figure reflects the ratio of allowances to total dispositions (allowed plus abandoned) and does not include pending applications. The record represents the examiner's pooled activity across all assigned art units.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's dispositions across all art units to which they are assigned. The allowance rate and disposal counts describe past activity only and are not predictions about any specific application. Aggregate figures mask variation across individual art units; a separate section on this page presents per-unit detail. Historical rates reflect completed cases and do not determine outcomes in future filings.
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 information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 220 decided applications with an interview and 252 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Michael Le 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: 509 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.
