Jonathan Randy Yim

Jonathan Randy Yim is a founding partner at BC Law Group, P.C., where he specializes in patent litigation with a strong emphasis on high-technology patents within the wireless and consumer electronics industries. His practice focuses on valuing intellectual property, developing damages theories with experts, and addressing patent licensing, acquisition, and FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) issues.

Throughout his career, Mr. Yim has demonstrated significant success in representing patent holders, securing substantial damages verdicts. He served as counsel for Optis Wireless Technology in the Eastern District of Texas, obtaining $506 million and $300 million damages verdicts against Apple in a patent infringement action involving wireless communications. He also represented Wi-LAN, Inc. in the Southern District of California, securing $145 million and $85 million damages verdicts against Apple for patents related to voice over LTE (VoLTE) wireless communication technology. Notably, he was counsel for i4i L.P. and Infrastructures for Information Inc. in the Eastern District of Texas, securing a $290 million judgment against Microsoft concerning document manipulation technology, which was upheld by the United States Supreme Court. While his firm, BC Law Group, focuses on high-value patent enforcement including post-grant proceedings at the PTAB, specific IPR/PTAB experience for Mr. Yim himself is not detailed in the provided search results.

Prior to co-founding BC Law Group, Mr. Yim was a principal at McKool Smith, where he contributed to clients recovering over $1 billion in judgments and settlements. Based on the tracked cases, he has experience on both the plaintiff and defendant sides, with one appearance for each. However, the prominent outcomes highlighted in his professional background overwhelmingly demonstrate significant success on the plaintiff side in high-stakes patent enforcement.

Mr. Yim is admitted to the State of New York. He earned his J.D., cum laude, from SMU Dedman School of Law in 2008, and holds two Bachelor of Arts degrees, summa cum laude, in Music and German from Southern Methodist University (2004).
