// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Thanh Ha T Dang maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 696 disposed applications, 586 were allowed and 110 abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 84%. This rate reflects decided cases only and excludes pending applications. The examiner's record spans a single art unit, providing a pooled view of activity in this technology center. The 84% allowance rate is a historical aggregate and does not forecast the outcome of any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units assigned to an examiner. The allowance rate (84% of 696 decided cases) describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of what will happen in any specific application. Aggregate figures mask variation across art units and do not reveal how the examiner handled particular invention types, claim structures, or office-action sequences. Pooled data provides context for the overall record but cannot predict individual case results.

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 →
