Leon Ma is one of the managing partners at AbramStar, an IP law firm dedicated to Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) across diverse technology standards. Leon's expertise is grounded in a rare dual background - with 15+ years of experience that includes 10 years as an in-house SEP portfolio manager at a leading tier-1 IC design company before transitioning to advising clients on the full spectrum of SEP operations. Having sat on both sides of the table, Leon understands the real pressures in-house patent teams face - from building and justifying a high-value SEP portfolio, to navigating complex licensing negotiations, litigation risks, and royalty rate decisions. His deep technical expertise in 3GPP standards (6G/5G/4G) and consumer electronics, a 90% patent pool certification pass rate, and experience managing a Top 10 worldwide-ranked SEP portfolio all translate into practical, actionable strategies - not just legal advice. Leon's unique blend of in-house and advisory experience enables him to deliver comprehensive, strategic solutions that help clients maximize SEP value and turn complex challenges into competitive advantages.
