Ted T. Kang

Specialty & focus areas. Ted T. Kang is a patent litigation associate in the Los Angeles office of Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, where his docket centers on computer-system, software, and communications technologies. His tracked work — including Advanced Cluster Systems, Inc. v. Intel Corporation (W.D. Tex.), which targets Intel's Xeon processors and Habana AI accelerators over parallel/cluster-computing patents — sits in the software/high-performance computing space. Public case databases categorize his matters under communications and software/security, and he has also been involved in a W.D. Tex. defense of Google against CTD Networks' network-monitoring and cloud-security patent claims (per Law360). Note that he is distinct from several other attorneys named "Ted/E. Kang" in D.C. and Philadelphia who practice white-collar or construction law.

Side preference. All verified appearances are on the defense side (1 of 1 tracked appearances), representing operating companies — Intel and Google — against patent plaintiffs. This aligns with MTO's patent group, which markets itself primarily as defense counsel for technology and semiconductor clients facing infringement suits, including NPE/standard-essential-patent campaigns.

Firm context & notable cases. Kang has practiced at Munger, Tolles & Olson throughout his patent career (he was admitted to the California bar in 2020); no earlier firm affiliations were found in reliable sources. His most prominent tracked matter is Advanced Cluster Systems, Inc. v. Intel Corporation (W.D. Tex., Judge Albright), where he appeared pro hac vice for Intel in a suit alleging infringement of a family of cluster-computing patents by Intel's Xeon and Habana products. In the parallel defense of Google in CTD Networks LLC v. Google LLC (W.D. Tex.), MTO secured a dismissal with prejudice that withstood the plaintiff's abandoned Federal Circuit appeal — a firm-level result corroborated by MTO's published case history, though Kang's individual role in the outcome is not separately documented.

PTAB/IPR; credentials. No record indicates Kang appears regularly in IPR/PGR proceedings, but Intel filed a related petition (IPR2025-00794) challenging the same ACS patent family asserted in his tracked district case. Per California State Bar directory data, Kang was admitted in California in 2020 and earned his J.D. from UC Berkeley School of Law; that credential is from a secondary aggregator, not a firm bio, so it should be treated with modest confidence.
