杨成宁
Patent Agent

Mr. Jong’s venture with Jong Patent Firm follows more than 17 years of experience with Tracy Jong Law Firm, where he assisted clients with hundreds of awarded patents and product protection simultaneously. The focus of Mr. Jong’s patent practice before the USPTO is in patent preparation and prosecution, starting from boiling down each client’s invention into its essence to securing the broadest possible claims for my clients based on their commercial goals. Mr. Jong is a strong believer in educating his clients in the patenting process so that he can spur the creation of new concepts and embodiments never considered before. Mr. Jong’s approach often results in patent clients leaving his office with a wealth of knowledge about patenting in general and more specifically in the materials expected of them from his office. Mr. Jong is a Registered U.S. Patent Agent (Registration No.: 56551) and also a licensed Professional Engineer (Registration No.: 083586) in the state of New York. Mr. Jong is also the founder/owner of PatentSlice.com, an automated service that helps casual patent readers and patent practitioners alike, in more quickly grasping and analyzing the concepts of existing inventions and also your own patent drafts.

While a Shell scholar, Mr. Jong studied engineering and earned his B.S. (with high scholastic honor) in Engineering with Mechanical Specialty in 1994 from the Colorado School of Mines. He continued on to earn his M.S. in Engineering Systems in 1996 from the same university. While completing his master’s degree, Mr. Jong taught Fluid Mechanics laboratory classes. While consulting at Caterpillar, Inc., he was involved in designing, developing and testing automated digging (autodig), hydraulic control software and valve controls systems for 980G wheel loaders, R1700 Load Haul Dump(LHD)s and independent metering valves. Before joining Xerox Corporation, Mr. Jong was responsible for designing and developing valve actuator and pipeline safety equipment as well as managing an offshore oil and gas platform valve actuator retrofit project with Rotork Fluid Systems. While at Xerox Corporation, he was a key machine control software developer in areas of fuser, raster output scanner, xerography, communication and printer controller tester. In addition to assisting clients in patent matters, Mr. Jong also helps bridge technical and cultural gaps between U.S. companies and their Chinese business counterparts.
