Senior🎓
Top SchoolJay Chiu is a partner and IP litigator with two decades of experience handling high-stakes U.S. patent and trade secret disputes, ITC Section 337 investigations, and contested PTO proceedings for global technology clients. He splits his time between Greater China and the U.S., providing real-time, on-the-ground strategy and discovery support that has driven multiple defense victories up to the Federal Circuit and a landmark U.S. Supreme Court win on patent exhaustion. With a technical foundation from UC Berkeley in EECS and a JD specializing in IP from UCLA, he blends deep technical insight with courtroom acumen to advise on offensive and defensive patent strategies, licensing, and portfolio development. His practice spans diverse sectors—semiconductors, displays, robotics, biotech, batteries, and telecommunications—reflecting a knack for translating complex technologies into persuasive legal theory. Based in Los Angeles, he also brings cross-border commercial dispute and arbitration experience in Hong Kong and Singapore, making him a go-to counsel for Asia–U.S. technology disputes. An unusual strength is his sustained focus on early-case discovery strategy, which he credits as a key lever for achieving efficient, favorable outcomes for clients.
