Examiner Tim T Vo has allowed 167 of 214 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Tim T Vo maintains a pooled allowance rate of 78% across 214 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans six art units: 2111, 2112, 2138, 2168, 2185, and 2189. Of the 214 decided applications, 167 were allowed and 47 were abandoned. The allowance rate varies across these art units, ranging from 17% to 96%. This aggregate figure reflects the examiner's combined record and does not predict outcomes on any individual application.
A pooled allowance rate aggregates results across multiple art units into a single historical figure. This 78% rate reflects past dispositions—allowed and abandoned applications—and describes what has occurred, not what will occur on any future filing. The range (17% to 96%) indicates variation among the individual art units within the examiner's portfolio. Aggregate statistics characterize an examiner's past record; they are not predictive of specific application outcomes.
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 error detection, correction, and monitoring, and error-correcting coding/decoding.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 17 decided applications with an interview and 48 without.
Based on 23 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Based on 14 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 9 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines computer-aided design (CAD).
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Tim T Vo 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: 218 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.
