Examiner Phuong H Nguyen has allowed 234 of 342 decided applications (68%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Phuong H Nguyen maintains a public record across 5 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 342 disposed applications, the overall allowance rate is 68%. The examiner's allowance rate ranges from 56% to 92% across these art units, reflecting variation in outcomes within TC 2100. A total of 234 applications were allowed and 108 were abandoned across the pooled record.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes from multiple art units within TC 2100, combining different subject-matter areas into a single profile. The 68% allowance rate describes past decisions on 342 applications that were resolved. Aggregate statistics characterize historical performance and are not predictions about any specific application's outcome. Individual art-unit records may show different rates and are detailed separately.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Phuong 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: 369 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.
