Jency J. Mathew

Jency has extensive patent litigation experience before U.S. district courts and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). She has been involved in all stages, including pre-litigation analysis; developing infringement and validity strategies; drafting written discovery; preparing witnesses for deposition and trial, preparing expert discovery; motions practice; preparing for and arguing at hearings; and examining witnesses before a jury.

Jency's patent prosecution practice involves strategic counseling for clients, and she actively participates in the development of domestic and international patent portfolios. She has prosecuted more than one hundred patents in her career and routinely conducts interviews with inventors to facilitate invention harvests, drafts new patent applications, and handles the subsequent prosecution of patent applications. Jency collaborates with large teams of engineers and technical experts as part of strategic growth projects to build client patent portfolios having defensive and monetization value. She successfully incorporates her extensive knowledge of cases and issues relating to patentable subject matter into her patent prosecution practice.

Jency's experience and familiarity with prosecuting patent portfolios for clients, including those in the computer software and financial services industries, has been a valuable asset to her work on inter partes reviews (IPRs) and covered business method (CBM) reviews before the USPTO, where she has successfully represented both petitioners and patent owners.

Prior to joining Finnegan, Jency worked as a legal intern for an industry leading Fortune 200 medical device company, providing support for the corporation's patent portfolio.

Jency is passionately engaged in pro bono work. She has devoted time to assisting refugees with asylum representation through Human Rights First. In law school, Jency was actively involved with the Pennsylvania Innocence Project.
