LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP, Southern California’s leading business law firm, has announced that nationally recognized attorney Heather Antoine has joined the firm as a partner in its Sherman Oaks office. Ms. Antoine will lead the firm’s trademark practice group.
“We are thrilled to have Heather joining us to lead our trademark practice. Intellectual property in general, and trademark protection and enforcement specifically, have always been vitally important to our firm’s practice. While we have many talented and experienced attorneys engaged in many aspects of our intellectual property practice, having Heather leading our trademark efforts will substantially improve our firm’s position as a leader in intellectual property,” said Managing Partner Scott Alderton.
Heather’s practice focuses on protecting intellectual property rights. Heather’s practice includes trademark clearance and selection, domestic and foreign trademark prosecution and enforcement, and proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB). Heather also is a privacy law expert - including on issues relating to the European Union General Data Protection Regulations and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 - as well as issues relating to intellectual property licensing, trade secret protection, copyright, rights of publicity, domain names disputes and general client counseling. Heather’s practice is focused on supporting companies at every stage of development, from due diligence when choosing a name to ongoing brand management, to ensuring portfolios are safeguarded and ready for sale.
Heather has been recognized as a leading trademark lawyer by her peers and featured in nationally syndicated press for her expertise. She is vice chair of the California Lawyers Association Intellectual Property Section. Heather is a frequent speaker and writer on IP, Internet, tech and privacy issues, and has consistently been named one of Thomson Reuters' Super Lawyers Rising Stars.
