Examiner Tong Ba Vo has allowed 156 of 183 decided applications (85%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Tong Ba Vo maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 183 disposed applications, 156 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 85%. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 76% to 96%. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's record in art units 2133 and 2136 and describes historical outcomes rather than predicting any future application's result.
A pooled record combines data from multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. The overall allowance rate reflects past dispositions across all art units worked by this examiner and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application. Variation across art units—shown in the range—reflects differences in those respective art units' records. Pooled figures are historical summaries only.
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 Tong Ba 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: 183 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.
