An Intellectual Property Specialist with over 20 years of experience assisting clients and lawyers with trademark and copyright registrations.
My interest in intellectual property began in 1991 in San Francisco and Silicon Valley during the height of the dot com explosion. Working for a premier IP boutique firm, we specialised in emerging technologies emanating from some of the biggest names in the Silicon Valley and the high tech industry. Over time, my focus narrowed to trademarks, copyrights and transactional matters involving intellecutal property rights.
I later joined an international law firm representing Fortune 100 companies and helping to form and develop the firm's intellectual property prosecution practice for its San Francisco office.
In 2004, I re-located to Southern California and was fortunate to join the intellectual property group of the largest California law firm as its Intellectual Property Manager. In 2011, I left law firm practice and started M3B TMKS/IP, Inc. to focus solely on trademark and copyright prosecution and IP transactional matters, assisting private clients ranging from hospitals to media firms to real estate companies to food and beverage providers. I also contract with law firms and legal departments from Southern California to New York.
I have authored and co-authored articles and publications on trademark prosecution, copyright prosecution and litigation practices for paralegals. I have also been a presenter/speaker on trademark prosecution and litigation practices for paralegals throughout California.
