Overview

Joseph J. Wang is a registered patent attorney and principal at Schwegman Lundberg & Woessner. Joseph’s practice expansively covers software, artificial intelligence, computer vision, 3D modeling and graphics, augmented reality, robotics, automated vehicles, digital media, specialized devices, user interfaces, and industrial designs. His extensive pre-law engineering career in computer systems, embedded systems, software, graphics, digital media, and user interfaces before law school gives him exceptional insight into today’s increasingly common multidisciplinary innovations.

Joseph earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from UCLA with a National Merit Corporate Scholarship. After graduating from UCLA, Joseph’s keen parallel interest in computer and data science led to a career in computing technology. For 14 years, he worked in the engineering of computer systems, embedded systems, software, and digital media. Joseph supported technologies for computer graphics, video production, video post-production, media compression, media broadcasting, media distribution, and user interactivity. During this time, he performed diverse business roles, including customer support, field service, technical marketing, technical training, technical publications, and quality assurance.

Joseph then earned his Juris Doctor degree from Santa Clara University, with a Witkin Award for Business Planning. The business experience from his previous career now helps him counsel clients of all sizes. He explains, “I enjoy advising clients and supporting their business plans as a trusted advisor. My work is not just about pursuing a patent but also about helping my clients pursue the right patents that fit their business goals.” One of Joseph’s greatest strengths is that he focuses on clients’ fundamental interests. “I try to look at the big picture and then support that.”

When you work with Joseph, one of the qualities you’ll notice is his responsiveness. He explains, “I try to make sure everyone is heard. When I receive a message, I know there’s someone on the other end who needs something, and I want to help make sure they are taken care of quickly.”
