Examiner Thomas Duong has allowed 40 of 71 decided applications (56%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Thomas Duong's public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spans one art unit. Across 71 disposed applications, he allowed 40 and abandoned 31, resulting in an allowance rate of 56%. This rate reflects the ratio of allowed applications to all decided cases in his pooled record. The data presented covers his complete history in the specified technology center and does not address pending applications or any applications under review.
This pooled record aggregates Duong's work across all his assigned art units in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 56% and other figures describe past outcomes across decided cases and represent a historical summary only. Aggregate statistics do not predict outcomes in any specific application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation. Pooled figures are useful context for understanding an examiner's overall record but are not forecasts.
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 artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 25 decided applications with an interview and 46 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Thomas Duong 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: 71 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.
