What the data says.

Examiner Thanh T Nguyen maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 77 disposed applications in a single art unit, the examiner allowed 36 applications and abandoned 41, yielding an allowance rate of 47% over decided cases. This allowance rate reflects the examiner's historical record on applications that reached a final disposition—either allowance or abandonment. The pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work within the specified technology center and art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to the examiner and describes the historical pattern of dispositions. The allowance rate of 47% is calculated from decided applications (allowed plus abandoned), not from all filings. This aggregate figure represents the examiner's past record and is not a prediction of the outcome of any individual application. Specific cases depend on claim scope, prior art, and examiner conduct in each prosecution.

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 →
