Joel is a Shareholder at Ewusiak & Roberts, P.A. Joel has handled a wide range of legal matters for both plaintiffs and defendants since he began practicing law in 2001.

Joel enjoys the variety associated with his general civil litigation practice; however, he focuses his law practice in two main areas: securities and investment litigation and commercial litigation.

In securities and investment litigation, Joel has represented many investors, agents, brokers and broker-dealers in both customer and industry disputes, in matters involving breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation and negligent supervision, among several other areas. Joel has previously served as litigation and corporate counsel for a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority broker-dealer, where his duties included representing the corporation and its subsidiaries in arbitration and litigation proceedings. He gained valuable insight into the securities industry while serving as litigation and corporate counsel.

In the area of commercial litigation, Joel has litigated a myriad of cases in state and federal court at both the trial and appellate level. Exemplary cases include Class Actions, as well as Civil Rights, Breach of Contract, Real Estate, Lender, and Personal Injury Claims, to name just a few.

In recent years, Joel's thoughts and opinions on various legal matters have been sought by various media outlets, including the Ocala Star Banner, the Tampa Tribune, the Saint Petersburg Times, and Courthouse News. More recently, examples of Joel's cases to be featured in the press include a lawsuit brought on behalf of a senior citizen duped out of her life savings by a Tampa investment company and a bankruptcy proceeding involving a Sarasota investment club's perpetration of an extensive ponzi scheme.

Outside of work, Joel enjoys exercising and rooting on the only team that matters: the West Virginia University Mountaineers. "Take Me Home, Country Roads."

Hi, and thank you for visiting my Justia profile. My name is Glenn Gold and together with my partner John Rizvi we founded "The Idea Attorneys", a leading Patent and Trademark Legal Practice.

Did you know that approximately 75% of American publicly traded companies worth lays in intangible assets.

Intellectual Property accounts for a massive $5 Trillion, larger than any other economy in the world. It is the fastest way to wealth that exists today. It is also one of the mainstays of the American Dream and it is even mentioned in Article 1 of the constitution:

"To promote the progress of science and the useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries"

The USA is the major global center for Intellectual Property and a springboard for any invention that is worth its salt. No matter where you are, if you want to register your Intellectual Property rights you will need support from a knowledgeable firm that understands the key drivers behind this complex discipline.

Conversely if your patent, trademark or copyright comes under attack you would want the best protection possible. It is the ability to protect Intellectual Property that has made our country so attractive for business and here at The Idea Attorneys we have made it our mission to be the best at what we do across all segments of the Patent, Trademark and Copyright sphere.

Failing at even one of the many parts that comprise a successful Intellectual Property case is calamitous, which is why we have concentrated all our knowledge and experience on this specialized area. Quite simply, we have decided to excel in one field and, and as our clients will testify, have had notable success.

Intellectual Property is one the most complex legal areas.

These are some of the milestones you need to reach before securing a patent:

1. Conduct research to ensure that your idea isn't already registered (it is recommended that this done manually as it is more reliable).
2. Produce a specialist report that will detail any conflicting claims.
3. Apply for Intellectual Property protection, of which there are six types- Provisional, Utility, Design, Plant, Re-issue and Defensive Publication (a good lawyer will be able to advise on which one is best for you).
4. It is an uncommon occurrence for the patent to be accepted the first time. There can be up to two applications, and even if the second application is turned down there are a number of possibilities open to the inventor, such as a re-filing the application, a continuation in part application or a full appeal.

If you have an idea which you would like to patent or trademark we would like to hear from you. Alternatively if your existing Intellectual Property is threatened we will provide the best protection there is.

Our headquarters are in Ft Lauderdale, Florida, and we also have two Patent offices in Las Vegas, Nevada and New York City. With the advent of the internet and digital technology it is no longer necessary to come and see us in person - we provide services to companies all over the world.
