My Practice: I can’t believe how lucky I am. At VLP we’ve managed to have the best of both worlds. You know that in any big organization, you’ll have a mix: a small percentage of stars, a large mass of solid performers, and a percentage who maybe should be in a different line of work. We’ve cherry-picked the stars from elite law firms, but haven’t taken on the staggering big firmoverhead. The result is I get to work with only the best, and our sane operating cost allowsboth you and us to do well financially. Our clients couldn’t be happier, and neither could I. My Experience: Board Certified in Intellectual Property Law by the Florida Bar. 32 years successfully representing Fortune 500 clients in disputes and transactions involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and information technology.

Advanced tech-trans negotiation and litigation, brand portfolio protection, management and licensing, including open source software. Practice Goals: To protect client interests online, minimize exposure to litigation and resolve disputes privately, effectively and efficiently; to help clients monetize and realize the economic utility of their inventions, brands and creative works.
