Examiner Phong H Nguyen has allowed 824 of 948 decided applications (87%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Phong H Nguyen has disposed of 948 applications across 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 824 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 87%. The examiner's record spans multiple art units (2152, 2156, 2162, 2169), and allowance rates across these units range from 83% to 100%. This pooled figure represents the aggregate outcome across all art units in the examiner's portfolio and reflects the examiner's historical record on decided applications.
This record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units within TC 2100, pooling applications and dispositions without distinguishing among individual art units. The 87% allowance rate describes what occurred on 948 decided applications in the past and is a historical statistic only—not a prediction of any specific application. Pooled data masks variation across art units; individual art-unit records are detailed separately and may differ from this 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 →
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Phong H 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: 976 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.
