What the data says.

Peter Khanh T Pham maintains a public record across two art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 28 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 17 and the applications were abandoned in 11 instances, yielding a 61% allowance rate. This rate reflects outcomes across the pooled art units 2127 and 2146. The record covers decided applications only; pending matters are excluded from this calculation.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates dispositions across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 61% allowance rate describes historical outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Aggregate figures represent past closure data and do not forecast results on individual filings. Per-art-unit detail, where available, appears in a separate section.

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 Peter Khanh T Pham 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: 28 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.
