What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Tung T Vo maintains a pooled allowance rate of 76% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2400. The examiner's public record spans 3 art units. The allowance rate ranges from 66% to 85% across these art units. This pooled figure represents the percentage of applications that were allowed among all decided applications—those marked allowed or abandoned—and does not include pending applications. The range reflects variation in outcomes across the examiner's different art-unit assignments.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's decisions across multiple art units within TC 2400. The 76% allowance rate describes what occurred in the examiner's past decided applications and is not a prediction of how any particular application will be handled. Because the record is pooled, individual art-unit performance may differ from the aggregate figure. Allowance rates are historical measures and do not forecast specific prosecution outcomes.

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 Tung T Vo 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: 1,025 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.
