Ayan is a registered Patent Agent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, with experience in patent preparation and prosecution, infringement analysis, and targeted prosecution, in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. He has drafted and prosecuted hundreds of patent applications in the last 19 years in a wide variety of technical areas, such as computer architecture, computer power management, computer network, memory and cache management, circuits, semiconductor, wireless technologies, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

Ayan received his Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering in 1998 from National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur, India, and earned his Ph.D. and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from University of Southern California, Los Angeles in 2005. Prior to his graduate studies, Ayan worked as an Electrical Engineer in a Petrochemicals company in India. Prior to joining the firm, Ayan worked for about 19 years at various national and boutique intellectual property firms throughout the nation, both in in-person and remote positions.

Ayan has published extensively, in IEEE and other journals and conferences, in the field of Electrical Engineering.
