// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Tuan Quang Dam's public record spans 51 disposed applications across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those 51 decided applications, 8 were allowed and 43 were abandoned, for an overall allowance rate of 16%. This pooled figure reflects decisions made across art units 2122, 2124, and 2192. The record represents applications that have reached final disposition; pending applications are not included in this allowance-rate calculation.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's record is pooled across multiple art units, meaning the allowance rate aggregates outcomes from different areas within TC 2100. A pooled figure describes the historical record but is not a prediction about any specific application. Different art units may have different allowance rates; the overall rate presented here reflects the combined result across all units covered by this examiner.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Tuan Quang Dam 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: 51 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.
