Examiner Phung M Chung has allowed 1,009 of 1,091 decided applications (92%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Phung M Chung maintains a public record across four art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,091 decided applications, the examiner allowed 1,009 and abandoned 82, for an allowance rate of 92%. The allowance rate ranges from 90% to 97% across these art units, reflecting variation in the examiner's record within the technology center. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across multiple art-unit assignments and does not represent any single art unit's rate.
A pooled record combines an examiner's work across multiple art units into one aggregate statistic. The overall allowance rate of 92% describes past decisions on 1,091 applications and is a historical summary only. It is not a prediction of the outcome in any specific application. The range (90%–97%) shows that allowance rates differ among the examiner's individual art units; the pooled rate sits between these bounds and reflects the combined distribution across all assignments.
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 control or regulating systems.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Phung M Chung 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: 1,091 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.
