Cori helps clients establish, maintain and protect their trademarks.
Cori has long concentrated her practice on trademark work for clients of all sizes—from individual entrepreneurs and startups to major global brands with thousands of marks worldwide. She routinely handles trademark prosecution and clearance, and she often assists larger clients with global trademark portfolio management, handling international trademark filings and working with local counsel overseas on enforcement actions. Cori also has experience with domestic trademark enforcement, cease and desist letters, and related litigation.
Earlier in her career, Cori served as a trademark examining attorney at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office where she reviewed trademark applications and determined registrability under the Lanham Act. The experience gave her a valuable inside perspective on how USPTO examiners view files, helping her anticipate client outcomes and prepare more effective prosecution strategies. Her time in government also allowed Cori to build an extensive network among remaining examiners.
With a passion for the field’s innate creativity, Cori knew from the beginning that her legal career would focus on intellectual property. She loves working in such a wide-reaching practice area, and her natural curiosity means that she thrives on the opportunity to learn about a broad variety of industries. Cori especially values having a practice with a ubiquitous, tangible impact on consumers’ daily lives—and working in area where she can protect the trademarks that are so central to clients’ identities.
