Examiner Van H Nguyen has allowed 1,107 of 1,245 decided applications (89%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Van H Nguyen has a public record spanning four art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 1,245 disposed applications, 1,107 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 89%. The record reflects the examiner's work across art units 2126, 2194, 2196, and 2199. Allowance rates across these art units range from 60% to 92%, reflecting variation in the mix of applications and outcomes within each unit's subject matter.
This record is pooled across multiple art units and represents aggregated outcomes from the past. The overall allowance rate describes historical results, not a prediction about any specific application. Pooled figures combine different art units with potentially different applicant bases, technologies, and claim types. Individual art-unit records provide more granular context and are published separately on this site.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines software engineering, and program control and execution.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Van H Nguyen 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: 1,281 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.
