Over 248 disposed applications, she has allowed 186 and abandoned 62, yielding an allowance rate of 75%. This rate is based on decided applications and does not include pending cases. The pooled figure reflects her combined activity across both art units and provides a statistical summary of her examination outcomes without predicting results on any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates Examiner Huynh's examination activity across multiple art units within TC 2100. Pooled statistics describe the past distribution of outcomes—allowances and abandonments—across all decided cases. The 75% allowance rate is a historical aggregate and is not a prediction of outcome on any specific application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation from the pooled figure.

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 →

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: 248 applications.
