What the data says.

Thu Ha T Nguyen maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 90 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 56 and abandoned 34, yielding an allowance rate of 62%. The allowance rate across the examiner's art units ranges from 62% to 63%. This pooled figure represents the examiner's historical record across both art units combined and does not constitute a prediction for any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units, obscuring unit-specific variation. The figures presented—allowance rate, disposed count, and range—describe historical outcomes in the aggregate. The range (62% to 63%) reflects differences among individual art units but does not identify which art unit achieved which rate. Pooled statistics are correlational snapshots of past decisions and are not predictions of outcomes in specific cases.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Thu Ha T Nguyen 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: 90 applications.

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.
