Jesse Chang

Jesse Chang is an Associate in the Litigation and Investigations Practice Group at Covington & Burling LLP, based in the firm's New York office. His patent litigation experience includes representation of both plaintiffs and defendants, with his tracked cases showing a slight emphasis on plaintiff-side work.

Mr. Chang has played a role in high-stakes patent disputes, notably contributing as Counsel to the plaintiff-side effort in Samsung Display Co., Ltd. v. BOE Technology Group Co. This complex litigation involved assertions of OLED display technology patents, covering innovations in consumer electronics such as smartphones and mobile devices. The dispute spanned multiple venues, including the Eastern District of Virginia and the Eastern District of Texas, with two cases resolving via confidential settlement and dismissal with prejudice in 188 and 218 days, respectively. A broader settlement also ended three years of global litigation between Samsung Display and BOE, following a preliminary US ITC finding that BOE had misappropriated Samsung Display's technology.

While Covington & Burling's broader practice includes Patent Office (PTAB) Trials, specific instances of Mr. Chang's individual involvement in IPR/PGR proceedings are not detailed in publicly available sources.

Mr. Chang is admitted to the New York Bar. He earned his J.D. from Columbia Law School in 2022, graduating as a James Kent Scholar and Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar. He also holds a B.S. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, awarded in 2017 with Distinction.
