Jingyuan Luo

Jing’s practice is primarily focused on patent and trade secret litigation. Her experience covers a broad range of technologies including small molecules and biologic drugs, medical devices, diagnostics, software, and semiconductors. This uniquely positions her to counsel clients on portfolio strategy. Her clients have ranged from big pharmaceutical companies, to biotechnology companies, to pre-IPO startups. Jing’s extensive background in the biosciences, including years of laboratory research experience, serves her clients well in these high-stakes matters before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, in district court litigation, and in federal appeals. Recently, Jing helped defend the validity of all challenged claims of a pharmaceutical patent in an IPR and was instrumental in developing the parallel district court cases.

Prior to joining Orrick, Jing served as a judicial law clerk for Judge Raymond T. Chen at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and was an associate at a Vault 100 litigation boutique in Washington, D.C. Before law school, Jing was a Marshall Scholar, and she pursued dual graduate degrees in the biosciences and policy studies while conducting public policy research in the U.K. and the United States.
