Wayne Tang focuses his practice on patent prosecution, patent counseling and intellectual property litigation. He helps clients in all phases of intellectual property litigation and has obtained numerous successful results for his clients.
I advise clients on patent protection in the electrical, computer, software and mechanical arts and I’ve helped many clients obtain patents in those areas. I have participated in preparing and managing IPRs, appeals, reissues and accelerated prosecution of different patents for my clients. Recently, I filed patent applications and have obtained patents in the fields of: hardware and software for servers, cloud based systems, artificial intelligence systems, software for gaming machines, medical device related hardware and software systems and configurable logic devices.
I regularly counsel my clients on their overall patent strategies. I recently was part of a Nixon team that assisted a medical device company in developing a patent portfolio for their newly developing software based services. I also recently helped a client devise a patent strategy to bundle core technical patents for licensing in the field of programmable logic devices. I advise a number of startups as to the most efficient deployment of intellectual property development.
I foresee changes in intellectual property protection laws limiting the ability of so-called “patent trolls” to enforce patents, as well as additional changes to further define software/business method patents and greater harmonization of patents internationally.
