Intellectual Property

     It is axiomatic that protecting your intellectual assets in our fast-paced digital and global age is of vital importance. After all, your trademarks identify you to consumers in the marketplace, and your copyrights safeguard your creative expressions. These "properties of the mind" help distinguish you from your competitors and give you a business edge.

     The law firm of SAMUEL & STEIN is a resource for clients who are starting, developing, and implementing protection and enforcement strategies for their intellectual properties, such as trademarks and service marks, trade names, trade dress, trade secrets, domain names, counterfeiting, copyrights, such as software and advertising, rights of publicity, and privacy. David Stein is a recognized authority in the areas of trademark and copyright law and holds an advanced law degree (LL.M.) in intellectual property with a concentration in those particular areas of practice. He has been a member of the Committee on Trademarks and Unfair Competition of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. A former partner at the leading trademark law firm of Coleman Law Firm, P.C., David successfully has gone toe-to-toe with some of the biggest intellectual property firms in the country, employing the savvy and tenacity of a seasoned litigator with the substantive and genuine know-how of trademark and copyright law.
