Overview

Weisheng (Wilson) Xie, Ph.D., draws on his deep research and industry experience to help clients build and safeguard strategic patent portfolios, with a particular emphasis on computer-related technologies and electrical engineering. 

Wilson's background as a Ph.D.-level researcher and a senior product planner for a telecommunications equipment vendor — where he worked on long-term product strategy as well as designs and modeling of next-generation telecommunications networks — provides him with an end-to-end perspective on technology, from initial R&D through to commercialization. This unique perspective allows him to develop and execute comprehensive patent strategies that protect and enhance a client’s technology portfolio. He handles a broad range of matters, including telecommunications, blockchain, machine learning, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, computer networks, consumer electronics, computer security, cloud networking, and databases. 

Wilson has over eight years of research experience developing and evaluating optimization algorithms for telecommunications networks. His doctoral research focused on applying combinatorial optimization techniques to improve performance and reduce costs in optical networks. His industry experience covers a wide range of telecommunications technologies, including optical networks, packet networks, and wireless communications. He is proficient in multiple programming languages, including Java, C/C++, Matlab, SQL, CPLEX, and Excel VBA. Wilson is an author of about 30 peer-reviewed research papers and a named inventor of eight U.S. patents.
