Xiang Long

Of Counsel

Xiang Long is Of Counsel at Agility IP Law. Xiang's background encompasses several years of experience in intellectual property litigation, including patent and trade secret cases in state and federal courts, as well as in the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). Before joining Agility IP Law in May 2010, Xiang was an associate at the Silicon Valley law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.

Xiang has litigated cases involving a broad range of technologies, including semiconductors, semiconductor packaging, computer hardware and software, nutritional supplements, Internet and e-commerce, and consumer electronics. Specifically, Xiang was counsel for Nantong Foreign Trade Medicines & Health Products, Co. (NFT) in a case brought by Cargill, a multinational producer and marketer of food, agricultural and industrial products (In re Certain Non-Shellfish Derived Glucosamine and Products Containing Same, ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-668 (2009)). The ITC's termination of the investigation pursuant to Cargill's request cleared the way for NFT to import and sell vegan glucosamine in the United States without any restriction. Xiang was also an active member of the trial team for AU Optronics v. LG Display, D. Del., Case No. 07-357-JJF, in which he represented counterclaimant AU Optronics in a multi-patent case against LG Display involving liquid crystal display technology. After a one-week bench trial, the court ruled in favor of AU Optronics on every claim construction issue, and found all four patents valid and infringed.

Xiang was born in Mainland China. Chinese is his native language.
