// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates data from multiple art units within TC 2100, pooling allowance rates and application counts across different technology areas. The 87% overall figure represents past outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application. Pooled records mask variation between individual art units; the range (68% to 93%) illustrates this variance. Historical figures describe what occurred, not what will occur in future prosecution.

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 Prasith Thammavong 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: 689 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.
