Examiner Thanh T Vu has allowed 602 of 810 decided applications (74%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Thanh T Vu maintains a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 810 disposed applications, 602 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 74%. The record spans art units 2174, 2175, and 2179. Allowance rates across these art units range from 51% to 97%, reflecting variation in the examiner's decided applications within the technology center. This pooled figure aggregates all three art units and describes the examiner's historical record.
A pooled record combines disposal and allowance data across multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. The 74% allowance rate reflects past outcomes across all three art units and is not a prediction of any specific application. The range of 51% to 97% indicates that allowance rates vary among the individual art units. This pooled snapshot describes historical record only; outcomes in any particular case depend on claim scope, prior art, and application-specific facts.
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 Thanh T Vu 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: 844 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.
