Examiner Than Vinh Nguyen has allowed 1,326 of 1,431 decided applications (93%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Patent Examiner Than Vinh Nguyen maintains a public record across three art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,431 decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 93%, with 1,326 allowed and 105 abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 90% to 95% across these art units, reflecting variation in the examiner's record within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates dispositions across multiple art-unit assignments and does not represent a prediction for any individual application.
A pooled record combines data across all art units where an examiner has worked. The aggregate allowance rate (93% here) describes historical outcomes across different subject areas and does not forecast outcomes in specific cases. Individual art units within TC 2100 show variation (90% to 95%), indicating the examiner's record is not uniform. Pooled statistics are descriptive of past work, not predictive tools for pending applications.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 127 decided applications with an interview and 608 without.
Primarily examines computer-aided design (CAD).

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Than Vinh 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: 1,456 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.
