Nicholas H. Wang

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Nicholas H. ("Nicky") Wang — patent litigation associate, Fish & Richardson (Austin, TX)

Focus areas. Wang's practice centers on patent litigation in the electrical engineering and computer technology space. His Fish & Richardson profile describes work across embedded systems, controls, wireless power transfer, computer architecture, and artificial intelligence, and notes experience with plaintiff-side IPR petitions, patent applications, office action responses, and pretrial motions. His technical background is a B.S. in electrical engineering (University of Michigan) plus industry work in the automotive sector — hazard analysis and risk assessment, safety systems, powertrain controls, fuel economy/emissions, diagnostics, and neural networks — so his matters skew toward EE/software/controls rather than chemistry, pharma, or mechanical arts. He is also fluent in Mandarin, which the firm frames as supporting Chinese client representation.

Side preference. His tracked record is thin: one appearance, defendant side, as counsel of record at Fish & Richardson, and zero plaintiff-side appearances. That is consistent with a defense-oriented practice representing operating companies accused of infringement. The only case I could verify matching that profile is Push Data LLC v. Planet Fitness Franchising, LLC, No. 4:23-cv-00930 (E.D. Tex. 2023), a PAE assertion against Planet Fitness over three location-based "geographical web browser" patents; Wang entered an appearance for the defendant. Nothing in the public record suggests he prosecutes for NPEs or plaintiffs.

Notable cases/outcomes. The Push Data matter was resolved by a joint stipulation of dismissal with prejudice, entered September 11, 2024 by Judge Amos L. Mazzant — a negotiated settlement, not a merits ruling, so no substantive win can be attributed to the team. The order contained an unusual carve-out permitting Planet Fitness to re-assert its counterclaims if a third party later challenges the asserted patents or the settlement agreement. Beyond this, no verdicts, Federal Circuit arguments, or other reported results are publicly attributable to him; note that the tracked case list has him on the defense side of a single, unnamed matter, and that caution should be applied because his name is shared with other practitioners (e.g., Nicholas W. Stephens at Fish is a different attorney).

PTAB/IPR experience. His firm bio states he has written petitions for inter partes review and argued hearings, but I found no PTAB proceeding (IPR/PGR/CBM) in which he is listed as counsel, so recurring PTAB practice cannot be confirmed from public records.

Bar/education. Admitted to the State Bar of Texas in October 2023 (Bar No. 24137702); no other court admissions reported on his State Bar profile. J.D., SMU Dedman School of Law (2023), where he served on the SMU Law Review Association (the firm bio says articles editor; the firm's 2023 associate-class announcement says staff editor) and externed for Judge Sean D. Jordan, E.D. Tex. Given his 2023 admission, this is an early-career practice and the record is correspondingly limited.
