I focus my practice on trademark prosecution, counseling, enforcement and licensing, as well as providing trademark litigation support and Right of Publicity and copyright protection. I assist clients with social media problems and Amazon Brand Registry issues. I have significant experience in domain name proceedings under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) System. I earned a ranking in the World Trademark Review 1000: The World's Leading Trademark Professionals (2014-2018).
