// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates outcomes across all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction. The allowance rate—the percentage of allowed applications among all decided applications—describes past dispositions only. Aggregate figures mask variation across art units and do not predict the outcome of any specific application. Individual art-unit records, where available, may provide more granular detail about specific subject-matter areas within TC 2100.

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 Phuoc 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: 132 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.
