He has obtained hundreds of federal trademark registrations, regularly manages cross-border brand protection programs, and oversees worldwide portfolio strategy end-to-end, coordinating filings, oppositions, and enforcement with foreign counsel to deliver consistent, multi-jurisdictional protection.
