Martens, based in Southern California, “tackles portfolio management and licensing mandates, as well as specializing in advertising issues. The “absolutely fantastic” Lisa Greenwald-Swire, based in Silicon Valley, “is a favorite for internet disputes and is well versed in opposition and cancellation proceedings before the TTAB.” Clients say that they “couldn’t ask for better trademark counsel.”
