What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Dang T Ton maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2400. The pooled allowance rate stands at 91%, derived from hundreds of decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined). This rate reflects the examiner's overall disposition across the art units covered by this record. The figure encompasses applications in which final decisions have been rendered; pending applications are excluded from this calculation.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, creating a single view of an examiner's historical allowance rate. The 91% figure describes past decisions on allowed and abandoned applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Because the record spans different subject areas, the aggregate rate reflects broad patterns rather than performance in any single art unit. Each application presents unique facts and claims.

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 Dang T Ton 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: 796 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.
