What the data says.

Mongbao Nguyen holds a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 617 decided applications, the examiner allowed 536 and abandoned 81, yielding an overall allowance rate of 87%.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units, producing an overall allowance rate and caseload count that describe the examiner's combined history. The 87% allowance rate reflects 536 allowed applications among 617 total decided cases. Pooled figures are historical summaries and are not predictions of outcome in any individual application. Per-art-unit detail, where available separately, may reveal variation not visible in the aggregate.

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 Mongbao 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: 653 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
