Zhu Lehnhoff LLP is a law firm that specializes in patent law. Our attorneys have impressive credentials and many years of experience working as a partner at some of the most prestigious international law firms. Dr. Song Zhu was a partner at the San Francisco office of Hogan Lovells and the Palo Alto office of WilmerHale.
In the last thirty years, our attorneys have acquired hundreds of high-quality U.S. patents for clients from all over the world. The patents cover a variety of technology areas including computer systems and software, semiconductors, electronic devices, telecommunications, renewable energy, automotive systems, medical devices, and chemical processing.
Our team also has significant patent litigation experience. Our litigation experience informs patent prosecution, analysis and opinion practice. In terms of patent prosecution, our experience gives us a good understanding of the impact of actions taken during patent prosecution on the outcome of patent litigation. We know how patents are attacked in litigation and how claim terms are construed in the court. This knowledge allows us to create robust patents that result in better litigation results and that can withstand validity challenges. In terms of patent opinions, litigation experience is crucial to performing reliable analysis and reaching an accurate conclusion, because patent analysis is essentially an attempt to predict what will happen in patent litigation.
