// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates the examiner's activity across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 72% allowance rate is computed from all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) pooled across both units. Pooled rates describe historical patterns and do not forecast the outcome of any specific application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation from the pooled figure.

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 Phuong N Hoang 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: 479 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.
