Wen Xue — Patent Litigation Summary

Focus areas. Xue is of counsel in Greenberg Traurig's Intellectual Property & Technology Practice in New York, where her practice centers on complex patent and trade secret litigation. Her firm biography describes work spanning web technology, telecommunications, databases, network security, blockchain, LED circuitry, and mechanical systems, along with patent portfolio evaluation and infringement/invalidity analyses. Her technical background (M.S. and B.S. in automotive engineering from Tsinghua University, plus co-inventorship on 14 Chinese patents in automotive electrical systems and circuitry) is consistent with the electro-mechanical and computer-implemented subject matter her practice description lists. Neither tracked case in the available data carries a caption or technology tag, so the case list itself adds no separate technology detail beyond the firm's published description.

Side preference. The tracked data show two appearances, both on the defendant side, both at Greenberg Traurig, in counsel/of-counsel roles — a purely defense-side record in the tracked set. That said, this is a small sample and does not reflect the full docket history: while at Desmarais LLP she appeared for plaintiff ZapFraud, Inc. in ZapFraud, Inc. v. Barracuda Networks, Inc., No. 1:19-cv-01687 (D. Del.), which indicates she has worked both sides. The dominant pattern is defense of operating companies accused of infringement.

Firm context. She is currently at Greenberg Traurig (New York), with New York State bar registration records listing Greenberg Traurig from 2022 onward. Before that she was at Desmarais LLP, a patent-litigation boutique, where her registration listed the firm in 2020. There is no indication she has been in-house.

Notable matters. The most visible public matter crediting her is Ameranth Inc. v. DoorDash, Inc., No. 1:25-cv-00180 (D. Del.), in which Greenberg Traurig represented DoorDash and the court granted a Rule 12(b)(6) motion dismissing Ameranth's online-ordering menu patent claims as patent-ineligible under Alice, with dismissal with prejudice (memorandum order filed Nov. 24, 2025). The firm's own media-coverage page lists Xue among the GT attorneys mentioned in Law360's report on that ruling, so her role is documented as part of the team rather than as lead counsel. Her earlier plaintiff-side work on ZapFraud produced a March 2021 opinion from Judge Colm Connolly addressing pre-suit knowledge pleading for indirect infringement and willfulness — an adverse ruling for her client on the post-suit knowledge theory. No other verdicts, settlements, or Federal Circuit arguments attributable to her were verified.

PTAB/IPR. No IPR, PGR, or CBM filings naming Xue as counsel were verified in the sources reviewed, and her firm biography does not highlight PTAB practice. Her posted experience is district court litigation, so IPR experience should be treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed.

Bar and education. Admitted to the New York bar in 2018; J.D., magna cum laude, New York University School of Law (Order of the Coif); M.S. and B.S., Tsinghua University (automotive engineering).

Caveat: the two tracked appearances in the source data are untitled, so they cannot be matched with certainty to specific dockets. The Ameranth/DoorDash matter is offered as the verified public matter she is credited on, not as a confirmed match to a tracked entry.
