Elizabeth E.L. Isaac
Of Counsel

Likewise, Elizabeth’s dispute experience comprises the full spectrum of IP resolution platforms, including district court litigation, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
Elizabeth’s trademark work encompasses worldwide brand portfolio management, clearance, prosecution, cease-and-desist letters, and trademark settlement agreements. Her design and copyright work includes creative works portfolio management, enforcement and defense, and design patent and copyright preparation and prosecution. In Elizabeth’s patent work, she manages freedom to operate and state of the art analyses as well as drafting and prosecution for clients across diverse industries, with specific experience in medical, food and beverage industry products and systems, consumer products and methods of manufacturing and packaging, software, and energy.
