As a former Trademark Examining Attorney with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Amy brings valuable insight and a unique perspective to her intellectual property practice.
During her tenure with the USPTO, Amy reviewed trademark applications and responses to office actions for compliance with procedural requirements and substantive legal standards. She drafted and issued office actions outlining legal refusals and USPTO requirements and conducted thorough legal analyses to ensure examination decisions aligned with trademark law and USPTO guidelines. Amy also prepared and filed briefs with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
Drawing on this experience, Amy develops strategic approaches to help clients protect their intellectual property assets. She advises on trademark and copyright protection and provides guidance in litigation matters involving potential infringement.
