// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Ted T Vo maintains a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,070 disposed applications, an allowance rate of 79% has been recorded. The examiner's allowance rate ranges from 69% to 84% across these art units, reflecting variation in outcomes across the different subject-matter areas within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's record and describes past decisions only.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines outcomes from multiple art units into a single aggregate allowance rate. The 79% figure reflects all decided applications across the three units where this examiner has worked. This aggregate describes historical outcomes and is not a prediction of disposition for any particular application. Variation across individual art units is documented separately and reflects the different subject matter and application profiles within TC 2100.

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 Ted T Vo 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: 1,101 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
