What the data says.

Viet D Vu maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 321 disposed applications, 255 were allowed and 66 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 79%. This rate is computed from decided applications only and does not include pending filings. The examiner's record spans a single art unit, pooled into one aggregate profile.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's record across all assigned art units into pooled statistics. The allowance rate reflects the share of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) over a defined historical period. Aggregate figures characterize past disposition patterns and do not forecast the outcome of any individual application. Applications vary in scope, claim construction, and prior art, and individual results 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 →
