Examiner Philip B Tran has allowed 115 of 147 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Philip B Tran maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning one art unit. His pooled record encompasses 147 disposed applications, of which 115 were allowed and 32 abandoned. This yields an allowance rate of 78% across all decided cases. The allowance rate reflects the ratio of allowed applications to the total number of disposed applications and does not include pending cases. This record aggregates outcomes across the single art unit in his portfolio.
This pooled record combines outcomes from one art unit within TC 2100. Aggregate figures describe the examiner's historical record across all decided applications but do not forecast any individual application's outcome. Each art unit may have distinct examination patterns; this summary reflects the combined data only. The allowance rate is a historical measure of disposed cases and is not a prediction about any specific pending or future application.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Philip B Tran 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: 147 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.
