What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Thong P Truong's public record in Technology Center 2400 spans one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner issued allowances in 86% of cases. This figure represents the share of applications in the decided pool—those allowed or abandoned—and does not include pending applications. The allowance rate of 86% is derived from the examiner's pooled record and describes past dispositions across the art unit covered in this profile.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data from all art units under an examiner's jurisdiction. The allowance rate and other figures shown here describe the historical record and reflect outcomes across different application types and conditions within TC 2400. Pooled statistics are correlational snapshots and are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may vary; detailed per-unit records appear separately on this page.

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 Thong P 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: 633 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.
