Examiner Steven Huynh Phung has allowed 35 of 47 decided applications (74%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Steven Huynh Phung's public record spans one art unit in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 70 total applications, 35 were allowed and 12 were abandoned, yielding 47 disposed applications. The allowance rate over those 47 decided applications is 74%. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across the art units in which they have examined, and reflects historical decisions on applications that have reached final disposition.
A pooled record aggregates data across all art units where an examiner has worked. The allowance rate and disposal count describe past decisions on applications that reached final outcome—not pending cases. Aggregate statistics reflect historical patterns and do not predict the outcome of any individual application. Per-art-unit breakdowns, where available separately, offer more granular detail within specific subject areas.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 28 decided applications with an interview and 19 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Steven Huynh Phung 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: 70 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.
