// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Trang Khanh Ta maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 325 disposed applications, the examiner issued 259 allowances and recorded 66 abandonments. The allowance rate is 80% over the decided application count. This record aggregates outcomes from multiple art units within TC 2100 and reflects historical data only, not a prediction for any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines outcomes from multiple art units into a single aggregate. The overall allowance rate and application counts shown here are summaries of past decisions across all the examiner's assigned art units in TC 2100. These figures describe what occurred in closed cases and do not forecast the outcome of any pending or future application. Individual art-unit records may differ from the pooled average.

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 Trang Khanh Ta 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: 325 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
