// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Minh Chau Nguyen's public record covers Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) across one art unit. Across dozens of decided applications, the examiner issued an allowance rate of 67%. This figure represents the percentage of applications that were allowed or abandoned, among all applications with a final disposition. The allowance rate is a historical statistic reflecting outcomes on applications already concluded and does not characterize the examiner as a person or predict outcomes on pending or future applications.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates outcomes across all of an examiner's art units into a single historical figure. The allowance rate of 67% describes past decisions on concluded applications in TC 2100. Aggregate statistics reflect what occurred on prior applications and are not predictions for any specific pending case. Individual art units may have different rates; this summary presents only the combined picture.

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 Minh Chau 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 July 14, 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: 66 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
