What the data says.reading this examiner

Baotram Tran maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 spanning one art unit. Across dozens of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate stands at 73%, representing the share of applications that were allowed among all decided (allowed and abandoned) applications. This rate reflects the examiner's historical dispositions on applications that reached final resolution. The record provides a baseline view of past allowance activity but does not predict outcomes on any specific pending or future application.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates applications across art units within TC 2400. The allowance rate of 73% describes historical patterns across decided applications—those that concluded in allowance or abandonment. Such aggregate figures reflect past outcomes and are correlational data only. They are not predictions about any individual application's outcome, nor do they account for variations in claim scope, prior art, or application-specific circumstances.

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 Baotram Tran has a public record within Technology Center 2400. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated July 22, 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: 62 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
