What the data says.reading this examiner

Thu V Nguyen maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2400. Across dozens of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 8%. This figure represents the share of applications that were allowed among all decided applications (allowed and abandoned). The allowance rate reflects the examiner's historical dispositions on applications that reached a final decision, whether by allowance or abandonment.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units into a single overall profile. The allowance rate and art-unit count describe the examiner's past decided applications and do not predict outcomes on any specific pending or future application. Pooled figures smooth variation across different art units and subject matters within TC 2400, offering a broad view of the examiner's historical record rather than unit-specific patterns.

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 →

Questions about Examiner Thu V Nguyen

  • What is Thu V Nguyen's overall allowance rate?
    The allowance rate is 8%, calculated as allowed applications divided by all decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across the pooled record.
  • How many art units does this examiner cover?
    The examiner works in 2 art units within Technology Center 2400.
  • What does this allowance rate predict about my application?
    The pooled allowance rate describes historical outcomes only and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual application results depend on claim scope, prior art, and examination correspondence.
  • Why is the allowance rate expressed as a range?
    The range (min 2%, max 2%) reflects rounding and data aggregation across multiple art units. The primary allowance rate figure of 8% is the pooled rate across all decided applications.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Thu V Nguyen 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: 53 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.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
