About the Founder
Ashley Cheung is a professional in every sense of the word. She runs her business and personal life by a single motto - nothing ventured, nothing gained. As a first-generation immigrant from Hong Kong and proud business owner, Ashley is determined to pass on lessons of determination, confidence, and perseverance to her team, especially women and young creatives in the field. She founded Virtual Patent Gateway in January 2020 in an effort to leverage her paralegal skills on a virtual platform. She applies her creative and problem-solving techniques by collaborating with and supporting leading patent attorneys to advance the interests of their clients through Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) practices.
