What the data says.

Examiner Trisha U Vu has a public record of 308 disposed applications across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 223 were allowed and 85 were abandoned, yielding an overall allowance rate of 72%. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 69% to 84%. This pooled figure represents the aggregate outcome across all three art units in which the examiner maintains a substantial record.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units, masking variation among individual art-unit records. The overall allowance rate of 72% describes the examiner's past decisions across all three art units combined and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may differ from this aggregate. The range (69% to 84%) reflects that variation but does not identify which art unit corresponds to any rate.

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 Trisha U Vu 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: 308 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.
