Jerrit Yang

Specialty / focus. Jerrit Yang's tracked patent work is entirely defense-side, with both appearances on behalf of Charter Communications, Inc. against non-practicing entity (NPE) plaintiffs: Headwater Research LLC v. Charter Communications and Novacloud Licensing LLC v. Charter Communications. Consistent with Charter's business, these matters center on telecommunications, wireless-networking, and network-management/cloud-software patents rather than pharma, Hatch-Waxman, or mechanical work. Yang's only identified publication — a student note in the NYU Journal of Intellectual Property & Entertainment Law on the Federal Circuit's § 101 jurisprudence — also reflects a software/computer-arts orientation.

Side preference. 100% defendant-side (2 of 2 tracked appearances; 0 plaintiff-side). The pattern is clear: representing an operating company (a major cable/broadband and wireless provider) against NPE licensing campaigns, not prosecuting patent suits for plaintiffs or PAEs.

Firm context. Yang is based in Arnold & Porter's New York office (250 W 55th St). The tracked appearances span the firm under both its post-2017 merged name, Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, and the current Arnold & Porter name, reflecting the firm's 2023 rebrand — not a change of employer. Public records characterize him as a junior-to-midlevel litigation attorney (admitted 2022); firm-title designations in the case data (Counsel / Of Counsel) appear to reflect docket role labels rather than confirmed partnership-tier titles.

Notable matters / outcomes. The two tracked Charter defenses are the notable matters. Headwater Research involves a well-known NPE asserting wireless device/network-management patents; Novacloud Licensing involves cloud-computing and network-service patents. I found no publicly verifiable verdict, Federal Circuit decision, or settlement terms tied to Yang in either case, so no outcome should be inferred.

PTAB / IPR. No well-sourced evidence that Yang regularly appears in IPR/PGR proceedings. One unofficial docket aggregator flags a handful of ex parte reexamination/PTAB-adjacent appearances (software, biotech, and e-commerce categories), but that data could not be verified and should not be relied upon.

Bar / education. J.D., NYU School of Law (2021); admitted to the New York bar (2022). Undergraduate degree and any other credentials were not reliably sourced and are omitted.
