Reising Senior Attorney Yao Yao wasted no time obtaining her first patent for a client after
becoming a registered attorney at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) over
the summer. Yao leveraged the USPTO’s Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot program and
conducted examiner interviews to obtain a Notice of Allowance for one of her clients in under
nine months. Yao is licensed to practice in both the United States and China and represents an
important expansion of Reising’s global reach.
