Jennifer Ying
Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP

Jennifer Ying is an intellectual property litigation partner at Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP in Delaware. Her practice focuses on patent, trade secret, and trademark litigation in federal and state courts. Drawing on her technical background in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT, she handles cases across a range of technologies, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, telecommunications, wireless technologies, and computer hardware. Her firm biography and representative matters show experience representing clients in the semiconductor and integrated circuit industries.

The available case list and public records indicate a balanced practice representing both plaintiffs and defendants. The two tracked cases, Greenthread, LLC v. ON Semiconductor Corporation et al. (plaintiff) and DISH Technologies L.L.C. et al. v. Reuters News & Media Inc. (defendant), show her acting as Delaware local counsel for both sides. Her broader case history includes representing defendant Intel in disputes with Philips and Arm, and representing plaintiff HID Global in a successful trade secret and patent infringement jury trial that resulted in a $45 million verdict.

Ms. Ying has been a partner at Morris Nichols since 2019, having joined the firm in 2011. Her practice includes advising on litigation with parallel proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). For instance, she was part of the team representing Meta Platforms that successfully used inter partes review at the PTAB to invalidate the majority of patent claims asserted against the company in the District of Delaware. Previously, she worked as a registered patent agent at an IP boutique in New York and clerked for the Delaware Supreme Court.

She earned her J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2010 and holds S.B. degrees in both electrical engineering & computer science and management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, obtained in 2005.
