// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Phat Ngoc Le maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 50 total applications, 10 have been disposed of (allowed or abandoned). Of those 10 decided applications, 8 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 80%. The examiner's record spans a single art unit, meaning all statistics reflect activity within one classification area. This allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only; pending applications are excluded from the percentage.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across all assigned art units—in this case, one—and presents aggregate statistics. The allowance rate of 80% describes the examiner's historical disposal record and does not constitute a prediction about any specific application. Aggregate figures reflect past outcomes across all applications decided, and individual case outcomes may vary. Understanding the scope (number of art units) helps contextualize the breadth of the examiner's portfolio.

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 Phat Ngoc 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: 50 applications.

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.
