I have litigated intellectual property and other complex business disputes for over 10 years. My experience trying cases and helping clients secure and protect intellectual property rights helps me support different business objectives. While those objectives can require extended litigation, they are often met through negotiated resolution and settlement. I work with clients to craft approaches that make the most business sense. I represent businesses as plaintiffs and defendants in a variety of matters, including disputes involving patent infringement, trademark and trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, deceptive advertising, trade secret misappropriation, cybersquatting, and software development and licensing. Sometimes beyond, but often in conjunction with intellectual property, I advise clients in complex business disputes involving breach of contract, business torts, defamation, fraud, and other matters.In addition to federal and state court litigation, I represent businesses in inter partes review proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings before the United States Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, proceedings under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, and arbitration proceedings before the American Arbitration Association. I am a registered patent attorney and have prosecuted patent, trademark, and copyright applications. I have counseled clients regarding intellectual property portfolio development and strategy, and I have experience in licensing, business transactions, due diligence, and clearance, infringement, validity, and patentability analyses. I manage and regularly contribute to Snell & Wilmer’s IP litigation blog, SWIPlit.com.
