Chen Zang Ph.D.

Expert patent guidance for a complex licensing dispute

I engaged Dr. Chen Zang at Finnegan Henderson to assist my tech startup with a high-stakes patent licensing negotiation that was veering toward potential litigation. While Dr. Zang has only been practicing for a year, his deep technical background and the firm's formidable reputation in IP were immediately apparent. His recognition in both Patent Law and Litigation - Patent by Best Lawyers, a significant accolade for any attorney, gave us confidence. He meticulously dissected the opposing party's portfolio, identifying key weaknesses in their infringement claims that we had overlooked. His strategy was not just legally sound but commercially pragmatic, focusing on securing a favorable license while preserving our future innovation runway. His analysis, grounded in his Ph.D.-level understanding of the technology, was invaluable during negotiations. The one area where we experienced a slight delay was in receiving draft revisions; during particularly busy periods, response times could stretch to 48 hours. However, when he did respond, the work product was always thorough and precise. For a complex, technology-driven patent matter, Dr. Zang’s unique blend of scientific acumen and sharp legal insight, backed by a premier firm, proved to be an excellent choice. We achieved a settlement that protected our core IP without the drain of litigation.
