Experience

  • Led and resolved a cross-border trademark infringement dispute in the life sciences space representing the interests of parties from the United Kingdom, Canada, and Israel against a U.S.-based party’s trademark infringement enforcement efforts. The dispute involved the U.S. party’s efforts to register and enforce a phrase that our clients deemed to be wholly descriptive and incapable of functioning as a mark. Based on investigative research and an aggressive inter partes proceeding lodged with the USPTO Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, AGG was able to swiftly secure a resolution in favor of our clients.
