Practice
Dr. Wayne Zou has a decade of experience in patent practice, including patent procurement, client counseling, patent portfolio management & transactions, post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and patent litigation in U.S. federal district courts and Section 337 investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC).
Wayne has prepared and prosecuted thousands of patent applications in the electrical, software, Internet, electro-mechanical, medical device, and business methods fields, such as in the areas of semiconductor device and manufacturing, display technology, artificial intelligence, and wireless communication. He has also been actively involved in over a dozen patent office post-grant proceedings, representing both patent owners and petitioners. He has also assisted in due diligence and opinion work on semiconductor device, manufacturing, and medical device-related patent matters. In addition, Wayne has assisted in patent litigation matters related to thin film transistors (TFTs), LCD panels, processors, biometric devices, and Internet services in federal district courts and ITC.
Wayne has extensive technical experience in the areas of semiconductors, microfabrication, MEMS, biosensors, microfluidics, telecommunications and networking. He has published 14 peer-reviewed journal articles. One of his journal papers related to biosensors and microfluidics was recognized with the IEEE Sensor Journal Best Paper Award in 2009.
