Darren’s expertise in intellectual property law includes prosecuting and managing domestic and international patent and trademark portfolios, trademark clearance, oppositions and cancellations before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, trademark, patent and related IP and business litigation in the federal courts (including being admitted pro hac vice in the Eastern District of Texas), and domain name disputes, including UDRP and ACPA actions.

Darren’s focused expertise and ability to see things from the client’s point-of-view allows him to devise effective strategies that meet his clients’ specific needs, whether it be the negotiation of a trademark or copyright licensing agreement, designing and executing an international trademark protection and enforcement program that bolsters the client’s business goals, negotiating a settlement or coexistence agreement to his clients’ strategic advantage, or initiating a patent infringement lawsuit in a strategically beneficial forum.

Darren is active in the trademark bar, having served his two terms on the International Trademark Association’s Trademark Office Practices committee (U.S.P.T.O. Subcommittee), and one term on the International Trademark Association’s Trademark Policy Advocacy Committee, Enforcement Subcommittee.

He is a frequent speaker on intellectual property topics.
