Xiaolong Meng

Practice summary — Xiaolong Meng

Xiaolong Meng is an in-house IP counsel for Chinese electronics maker TCL (TCL Communication), based in China, where he handles complex patent litigation and licensing negotiations across multiple jurisdictions, including U.S., German, and Brazilian proceedings (Managing IP, "IP Ones to Watch 2022"). His work sits squarely in the consumer-electronics and wireless-communications space, and his computer-science-and-law background is used to develop technical arguments and invalidity strategies. Before TCL he gained experience in IP prosecution, open-source code compliance, and copyright disputes.

Tracked caseload and posture. Meng's tracked appearance is exclusively on the defense side for his employer: one case, Mesa Digital LLC v. TCL Communication, Ltd. (C.D. Cal.), where TCL faced a plaintiff-side NPE/PAE suit brought by Ramey LLP over U.S. Patent No. 9,031,537 (an "electronic wireless hand held multimedia device" patent). No tracked appearances for plaintiffs/NPEs. The available docket history shows the district court ultimately granted TCL's motion to dismiss the second amended complaint without leave to amend and terminated the case in November 2024 — a favorable defense outcome in that matter (Unified Patents litigation portal).

Firm context. In-house at TCL Communication; no prior law-firm history is reliably documented. He is a qualified Chinese lawyer (not U.S.-barred) with a mixed bachelor's degree in computer science and law (Managing IP). I found no evidence of regular PTAB/IPR appearances, and none of the other "Meng"-named attorneys surfaced in search (e.g., Meng Xi of Susman Godfrey; DENG Xiaorong of Lifang & Partners) should be conflated with him. Education details beyond the CS/law bachelor's degree were not reliably sourced.
