My Intellectual Property Practice

I have handled intellectual property matters throughout my legal career, and have extensive experience in matters involving:

  • Patents. A registered patent attorney, I handle all matters related to patent preparation and prosecution, both in the United States and in foreign countries. I will conduct a search of the prior art to determine the patentability of your invention, and will provide you with an opinion regarding the scope and validity of an existing patent. I also handle all matters related to the enforcement of patents.
  • Licensing. I handle the negotiation and drafting of intellectual property-related agreements, such as license agreements, collaboration agreements and marketing/distribution agreements. I also handle disputes arising under such agreements.
  • Trademarks. I will help you determine whether a name, word, phrase, logo, design or other identifying element of your business, trade or product can be protected as a trademark. I will help you file for trademark protection, preparing all the documents required for registration of your mark. I will provide clearance opinions and will also advise you on selecting the best trademark. I also handle trademark litigation, including enforcement actions, as well as trade dress disputes (where a competitor has copied the physical appearance of your product, leading to consumer confusion).
  • Copyrights. I will help you obtain federal protection for any creative works that are integral to your business. Though you automatically obtain a copyright upon the creation of a work, I will help you more effectively enforce your rights through federal registration of your copyright. I also handle copyright litigation.
  • Trade secrets. If you prefer to protect your intellectual property as a trade secret, I will help you implement systems and controls to ensure that your most sensitive and confidential data and information remains as such. I will also assist you in litigating claims of misappropriation of such trade secrets.
