Ryan Wong

Ryan Wong's strong technical background and entrepreneurial experience give him a unique insight into his clients' business and legal needs. While earning his B.S. in biomedical and electrical engineering and a minor in mathematics from the University of Southern California, he co-founded a Pasadena-based software company and served as its software director. In this role, he led the design and development of a software system that is still used by some of the largest businesses in the metals, construction and distribution industries.
 
Ryan represents clients in a broad range of complex commercial and intellectual property litigation matters. 

Cases of Note

British Telecommunications v. Comcast Cable Communications, LLC: We are currently defending Comcast in an eight-patent case brought by BT in Delaware federal court. The plaintiff has targeted Comcast’s high speed data and telephony services.

Plaintiffs v. Individuals: Plaintiffs filed breach of contract and many other state claims including fraud and unjust enrichment against our clients. We successfully filed a demurrer on more than half of the claims, eventually leading to a successful settlement.
