Joey is a patent attorney with extensive experience handling complex
intellectual property matters for some of the largest companies in the United
States, including Advanced Medical Optics, Broadcom, Charles Schwab, and Intel.
With a background in electrical and computer engineering, Joey has handled a
number of patent matters related to computer software and hardware (on behalf of
both plaintiffs and defendants)--ranging from optical drives to wireless
communication devices to e-business applications. Many of these matters were in
the hotbeds of patent litigation, including the Eastern District of Texas, the
Western District of Wisconsin, the District of Delaware, and the Southern,
Central and Northern Districts of California. In one of his more notable
representations, Joey jointly defended Charles Schwab, CyberTrader, and Terra
Nova in an Eastern District of Texas patent infringement suit asserted against
their Internet-based financial trading platforms. As a result of his team’s
discovery of invalidating prior art and a demonstrated ability to prove
invalidity to a jury, the case was dismissed with prejudice for a nuisance value
settlement—a result described by the clients as “Lawyering at its best.”
Joey has gained particular expertise in maximizing the value of a company’s
intellectual property. This not only includes monetizing a company's patent
portfolio (Joey led licensing efforts for a medical device client that resulted
in patent cross-licenses and over $20 million in revenue) but also maximizing
in-house opportunities for innovation (Joey has set up internal programs for
clients designed to facilitate “out of the box” innovation and cross-functional
collaboration between R&D and business groups).
Prior to joining One LLP, Joey was an associate with some of the top law firms
in the world, including Latham & Watkins; Orrick, Herrington, & Sutcliffe; and
Lyon & Lyon. Joey also has significant in-house experience as IP counsel for
Advanced Medical Optics (now Abbott Medical Optics) in Orange County.
Before law school, Joey was an electrical/software engineer and product manager
for an Orange County network software company where he developed network device
drivers for PC-to-Host connectivity products.
