Ayan Paul
Patent Agent
Ayan is a registered Patent Agent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, with experience in patent preparation and prosecution, infringement analysis, and targeted prosecution across domestic and foreign jurisdictions. He has drafted and prosecuted hundreds of patent applications over 19 years in technical areas including computer architecture, power management, networking, memory and cache management, circuits, semiconductors, wireless technologies, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
Ayan received his Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in 1998 from National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur, India, and earned his Ph.D. and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from University of Southern California, Los Angeles in 2005. Before graduate studies he worked as an Electrical Engineer in a petrochemicals company in India. Prior to joining the firm, he spent about 19 years at national and boutique intellectual property firms in both in-person and remote roles.
Ayan has published extensively in IEEE and other journals and conferences in Electrical Engineering.
