I have 20+ years of experience helping clients select and register trademarks.I also represent clients in opposition and cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and I have extensive experience litigating intellectual property disputes in various federal courts.I serve on the Trademark Reporter Committee of the International Trademark Association. In addition, I am on the board of directors for the Dr. Ronald G. Michels Fellowship Foundation, which supports training and education in vitreoretinal surgery.I'm a proud “Double Dore” holding both a bachelor’s degree and a law degree from Vanderbilt University. I take Vanderbilt sports a little too seriously, and I'm raising my children to be the next generation of Vanderbilt super fans.And for some shameless self-promotion: I've been named to Managing Intellectual Property magazine’s list of IP Stars every year since 2013. I'm also "top rated" on Upwork.
