Intellectual Property Law

Protecting your IP is crucial to preserve the value of your brand and business. That is why it’s important to seek legal counsel early and often regarding how to maintain, build, and profit from your IP portfolio in today’s marketplace. I help clients through all stages of IP matters, from registration and renewals to enforcement and licensing. My approach to IP protection is designed to maximize the value of your IP assets and minimize related risks while keeping your upfront costs low.

I’ve represented a number of architects and designers as well as producers of home decor, perfumes, and other consumer goods in the development of their intellectual property. I’ve also represented a number of consultants in different service sectors, from urban planning and sustainability to life coaching and spiritual counseling.

I can work with you to prepare and file trademark and copyright applications with the USPTO and US Copyright Office, and create agreements and policies to further protect your IP assets. This includes developing user-friendly terms and conditions for your brand’s website along with privacy policies and GDPR-compliant internal procedures. Where appropriate, I can prepare and negotiate license and transfer agreements to help you derive the most value from the intangible assets you’ve developed.

If you’re working on a new brand or wondering how to protect one you’ve already developed, I can conduct an initial IP audit and work out a protection plan that’s best for you.
