PROFILE

Dr. Chang has assisted applicants to convert great inventions into valuable patent protections. He has also counseled clients with regard to corporate patent strategies. His broad knowledge base in the sciences allows him to quickly capture the essence of each invention and correctly distinguish the invention over the prior art.

Dr. Chang has prosecuted patent applications for inventions of various technical fields, including, for example, semiconductor processing, optics, telecommunication, audio/video signal processing, computer software/hardware, business method, articles of daily use, and interdisciplinary technologies, such as bioassay devices. He has also conducted searches for prior art references that may potentially invalidate issued patents.

Dr. Chang worked in a large intellectual property law firm for many years. During that period, he accumulated working experiences on all aspects of the U.S. patent prosecution. He also worked in the IP department of a large computer manufacturer in Shenzhen, China, and in a patent law office in Taipei, Taiwan, where he gained professional experiences in foreign patent prosecutions.
