About H.J.

Hyun Jin (HJ) In, Ph.D., is a principal in the Washington, D.C., office of Fish & Richardson P.C. With extensive experience across several fields of IP practice, HJ is uniquely positioned to navigate his clients through complex legal issues that sit at the strategic nexus of prosecution, post-grant, and litigation. He focuses his practice primarily on post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), having appeared in over 60 proceedings. He also maintains an active prosecution practice at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and handles litigation before the International Trade Commission (ITC). He works closely with clients of all sizes from a wide range of industries, from startups to global corporations.

Prior to joining the firm, HJ conducted cutting-edge research at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  HJ’s deep technical background allows him to readily grasp the most complex technological concepts that underlie his clients’ legal issues. He has extensive experience in a broad array of technologies, including semiconductors, batteries, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, automotive devices and systems, medical devices, artificial intelligence (AI), nanotechnology, optics, and chemistry, among many others. With a solid foundation in the sciences and sharp legal acumen, HJ speaks the language of both technology and the law.

In addition to his patent practice, HJ is committed to improving the lives of others through an active pro bono practice. He focuses particularly on issues affecting immigrants and other minorities. HJ takes great pride in Fish’s efforts to foster diversity in the legal industry, and goes to great lengths to help other diverse attorneys achieve success in the legal profession.
