Examiner Thuy Chan Dao has allowed 1,371 of 1,561 decided applications (88%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Thuy Chan Dao maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,561 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 88%. This rate reflects 1,371 allowed applications against 190 abandonments, excluding pending cases. The allowance rate ranges from 87% to 97% across the examiner's art units, reflecting variation in the record by technology area within TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across multiple art units in the same technology center. The overall allowance rate describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate figures mask differences between art units; individual art-unit records, where available separately, show the range of rates within the examiner's portfolio and may provide more precise context for cases in a particular technology area.
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 software engineering.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 527 decided applications with an interview and 958 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution, and software engineering.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Thuy Chan Dao 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: 1,594 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.
