Edward K. Chin

Edward K. Chin is a patent litigator with experience representing clients in disputes involving financial technology and software, particularly in cases related to electronic check processing and document imaging. His practice has included work on both the plaintiff and defendant sides of patent infringement actions. He has appeared with Albritton Law Firm and has been associated with Nix Patterson LLP, a firm known for its significant recoveries in patent litigation.

A notable area of his practice involves patent enforcement for technology related to financial services. Mr. Chin served as local counsel for DataTreasury Corporation in its case against Fiserv, Inc. The broader DataTreasury litigation involved patents for systems and methods for remotely capturing and centrally processing document images and data, specifically targeting check imaging technologies used by financial institutions. Firms representing DataTreasury in related litigations secured over $350 million for the client and obtained a $54 million judgment for willful patent infringement against US Bank in a prominent instance.

While his tracked appearances show a balance between plaintiff (1) and defendant (1) roles, his involvement as local counsel for DataTreasury Corporation highlights experience representing patent holders, including those asserting patent rights against operating companies. Information regarding Mr. Chin's experience with proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or inter partes reviews (IPRs) could not be reliably sourced.
