By Thomas Lee Irving; Ningling Wang; *Stacy D. Lewis

Finnegan partner Thomas L. Irving, partner Ningling Wang, and law clerk Stacy Lewis coauthored an article with Jing Wang, Weidon Liu, Lei Zhang, Lei Han, and Christina N. Gervasi for the University of Dayton Law Review. The article “analyzes and compares the new U.S. first-inventor-to-file provisions with the Chinese first-to-file system, and discusses implications for those who file patent applications in both the United States and China.”
