Leon Yee

Leon Yee serves as the Chairman of Duane Morris & Selvam, where his professional focus primarily encompasses corporate law, including corporate finance, venture capital, capital markets, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, and fintech. While his practice is largely transactional, his firm has demonstrably engaged in significant patent litigation.

In his tracked patent litigation appearance, Mr. Yee's firm represented the defendant side. Duane Morris & Selvam, in conjunction with Duane Morris LLP, notably led the defense for Kangxi Communication in the case of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. et al. v. Grand Chip Labs Inc. et al. and a parallel U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) Section 337 investigation. This high-stakes intellectual property dispute involved patents related to high-performance Wi-Fi RF front-end modules for IoT, automotive, and telecommunications.

The defense proved successful, with the ITC issuing an initial determination finding no infringement for two asserted patents. Subsequently, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. voluntarily withdrew its remaining patent claims, leading to a full and unconditional resolution of the Section 337 investigation and related litigation in favor of Kangxi Communication. There is no specific information available regarding Mr. Yee's personal appearances in PTAB or IPR proceedings.

Mr. Yee is an Advocate & Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore and a Solicitor of England and Wales. He obtained his B.A. (Hons) Law and M.A. from the University of Cambridge.
