Examiner Son T Hoang has allowed 840 of 1,005 decided applications (84%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Son T Hoang has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Across 1,005 disposed applications, 840 were allowed, yielding an 84% allowance rate. The examiner's record covers art units 2165 and 2169. Allowance rates across these art units range from 54% to 88%. This pooled figure reflects aggregate outcomes across the examiner's assigned subject areas and does not describe the outcome of any individual application.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100, combining different application types and prosecution histories into a single statistic. The 84% allowance rate reflects past decisions on 1,005 closed applications and describes the examiner's historical record only. Aggregate figures are not predictions about any specific application or future case. Individual art-unit records, if available separately, may differ from the pooled result.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Son T 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: 1,026 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.
