Examiner Thong H Vu has allowed 299 of 389 decided applications (77%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Thong H Vu maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 389 disposed applications, 299 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 77%. The examiner's allowance rates range from 66% to 81% across these art units. This pooled figure represents past dispositions and does not forecast outcomes in any individual application.
A pooled record aggregates results across multiple art units, obscuring unit-specific variation. The 77% figure describes historical allowances among decided cases and reflects past dispositions only. The stated range (66% to 81%) shows that performance varies across the examiner's art units. Pooled data are descriptive, not predictive, and do not indicate how any single application will be handled.
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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Thong H 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: 389 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.
