Joy Wang has nearly a decade of experience in intellectual property litigation. Focusing on patent matters in district courts and before the International Trade Commission, her technical background and former career as an engineer enable her to advise clients across various products and technologies, including pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, entertainment lighting, semiconductors, optoelectronic sensors, graphics cards, orthodontics, and orthopedic reconstruction, among others.
