What the data says.

Van Kim T Nguyen maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) across 2 art units. Over 100 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 71, yielding a 71% allowance rate. The allowance rate varies across the art units, ranging from 52% to 81%. This pooled figure reflects the examiner's combined record and does not isolate performance within any single art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, producing a single overall allowance rate. This aggregate describes historical outcomes across decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's fate. Individual art units may show different rates; the range (52% to 81%) reflects that variation. These figures are correlational summaries of past dispositions, not causal indicators of future results.

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 Van Kim T 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: 100 applications.

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.
