Examiner Tanh Q Nguyen has allowed 325 of 540 decided applications (60%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Tanh Q Nguyen maintains a public record of 540 disposed applications across 4 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those decided cases, 325 were allowed and 215 were abandoned, yielding an overall allowance rate of 60% across all pooled art units. The allowance rate ranges from 51% to 74% among the art units in which this examiner has a substantial record, reflecting variation in outcomes across different subject areas within TC 2100.
This examiner's record aggregates applications across multiple art units within TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate of 60% describes historical dispositions and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Allowance rates vary by art unit (51% to 74%), so an applicant's experience may differ from the overall figure depending on the particular art unit assigned.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Tanh Q Nguyen 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: 540 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.
