Mission Statement Change frequently alters how we perceive, use and protect trademarks, and even what qualifies as a trademark. This team evaluates social and cultural trends and emerging issues affecting registered signs, brands and related intellectual property rights ─ mindful that we can often add insight when we explore the intersection between trademark law and other fields and disciplines.
