Examiner Phong H Dang has allowed 361 of 431 decided applications (84%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Phong H Dang maintains a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 431 disposed applications, 361 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 84%. The record spans art units 2111, 2184, and 2185. Across these art units, allowance rates range from 69% to 95%, reflecting variation in the examiner's pooled decisions within TC 2100. This aggregate figure represents past dispositions and does not constitute a prediction about any specific application.
A pooled examiner record aggregates statistics across multiple art units to provide a single profile view. The overall allowance rate reflects historical decisions on all disposed applications combined. This figure describes the past record and is not a prediction of any individual application's outcome. Variation across art units, shown by the range, indicates differences in prosecution patterns by technology area but does not signal any causal relationship between art unit and allowance.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines interconnection and data transfer between memory, I/O, and processing units.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 86 decided applications with an interview and 163 without.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 78 decided applications with an interview and 101 without.
Based on 3 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Phong H Dang 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: 458 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.
