At a ceremony in Taiwan on April 6, 2018, the National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) recognized Finnegan partner Ming-Tao Yang as a top distinguished alumni leader. Ming was elected for the honor based on his accomplished legal career and contributions to the NCTU community.

He has litigated more than 40 cases in federal district courts, the International Trade Commission, California state courts, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Ming draws on his nearly 15 years of experience to counsel Asian and U.S. clients on issues relating to litigation, inter partes reviews, license negotiations, and portfolio management. He handles matters involving telecommunications, light emitting diodes (LEDs), integrated circuits, power amplifiers, computer networking, cloud computing, touch panels, and display devices. Ming has been recognized as an “IP Star” in California by Managing Intellectual Property.
