Florida Trademark and Patent Attorney

Get value-building legal services from a Board Certified Specialist with a technology background and a bottom-line focus. I’m a Miami-based patent attorney concentrating on protecting your ideas and creations using patents, trademark and copyrights. I can add value to your business and I can get results.

If you need patent protection, I can prepare high quality patent applications at an affordable rate, prosecute your applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and get you closer to your goal of obtaining an issued U.S. Patent.

If you need trademark protection, I can prepare and prosecute your trademark application at the Trademark Office in record time and move you towards a federal trademark registration.

If someone is infringing on your patent rights, your trademark rights or your copyrights, I can assert your intellectual property rights and enforce them in state and federal courts of law.

If you are involved in a domain name dispute, I can evaluate the case, provide you with valuable insight into the domain name issues at play and either assert your rights or defend you against such a claim.

Whatever your needs, you are best served by someone who deals directly and personally with you and has a laser-like focus on the areas of patents, trademarks and copyrights.

A Patent Lawyer with Relevant Experience

Intellectual property law firms like to tout their ability to understand your technology or “get up to speed.” As a former software engineer with over 5 years experience building defense systems, I’m already “up to speed.” I understand how software and web-based businesses develop intellectual property and operate their business. My approach is informed by an overall understanding of how technology is developed and how patent and trademark laws can best be used to achieve a competitive advantage in the market. Go ahead and speak “geek” to me.

You’ll often hear patent law firms say they “know their way around” the U.S. Patent Office. My office was the Patent Office. As a former U.S. Patent Examiner that examined hundreds of patent applications, I graduated from U.S. Patent Academy and worked in opposition to patent attorneys just like me. Now that I’m on the other side, I have a unique insight into the workings of the Patent Office, which helps when I prosecute my clients’ patent applications. And yes, I “know my way around” the U.S. Patent Office rather well.

In 2007, I was in the first group of Florida Bar lawyers to be afforded Board Certified status in the area of Intellectual Property Law. Board certification is the highest level of recognition offered by the Florida Bar in certain areas of law. As a Board Certified Specialist, I’m uniquely suited to provide you with counseling on patent law, trademark law and copyright law. I’m also currently a member of the Florida Bar Intellectual Property Certification Committee, which is the body charged with vetting applicants for board certification, as well as preparing the exam taken by the applicants.
