What the data says.reading this examiner

Nguyen T Truong's public record in Technology Center 2400 spans one art unit and covers hundreds of decided applications. The overall allowance rate is 86%, meaning that across all decided applications in the examiner's pooled record, 86% were allowed. This figure represents applications that reached a final decision—either allowed or abandoned—and excludes pending applications. The allowance rate is calculated as a percentage of those decided applications only, not of all filings or submissions.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units under an examiner's jurisdiction and presents a single overall allowance rate. This aggregate figure describes the examiner's historical record across those art units combined. The allowance rate is a statistical summary of past decisions and is not a prediction of the outcome in any individual application. Different art units within TC 2400 may have distinct statutory criteria and subject matter, and individual application facts vary widely.

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 Nguyen T Truong 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: 800 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.
