What the data says.

Examiner Tam T Tran maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning one art unit. Across 486 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 405 and abandoned 81, yielding an 83% allowance rate. The examiner's total application count stands at 511. This pooled record aggregates decisions across the assigned art unit and reflects historical disposition data. The allowance rate describes past outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all an examiner's applications across their assigned art units into a single profile. The allowance rate—here 83% across 486 disposed applications—is a historical statistic. It reflects past decisions and does not predict the outcome of any individual application. When reviewing pooled figures, note that they represent aggregate behavior and are correlational only; they do not establish causation or indicate how any particular case will be examined.

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 Tam T Tran 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: 511 applications.
