I am a lawyer, but my law practice draws on my years of business experience to help creative businesses and individuals maximize the profit potential of their intellectual property. I represent both content owners and consumers of content, and I handle business transactions as well as infringement disputes relating to copyright and trademark rights.

While some matters call for a "quick fix," I strongly believe in educating my clients about their rights and duties under the law so that we can work together to develop policies and practices that will sustain their endeavors over time. My philosophy includes a three-pronged approach to effective business. Those prongs are:

(1) Protect your assets. I can help you develop processes that utilize effective legal, technological, and procedural tools to safeguard your intellectual property and other assets. In the event that you do experience the theft or piracy of your intellectual property, I can help you detect infringement and recover fees for unauthorized use.

(2) Protect yourself. Businesses both small and large must navigate a myriad of laws in areas such as intellectual property, customer privacy, and data protection. On top of the statutory requirements, vendors such as banks, credit card processors, internet service providers, and others often impose contractual duties that, if breached, can result in a serious loss of service and business. I can help ensure your compliance with your legal and contractual obligations to avoid costly and disruptive disputes. And when disputes do arise, I can help minimize their impact on your business operations and work towards a quick and effective resolution wherever possible.

(3) Innovate to expand your market. Today's economy demands that businesses constantly innovate to satisfy changing market conditions and evolving customer expectations. But innovation, by its nature, entails a certain amount of risk. I can help you develop sales, marketing, and technology plans that don't run afoul of important laws and regulations without stifling the innovative spirit that is necessary for your business to thrive.

I offer several services on a flat-rate basis, and handle more complex issues at a reasonable hourly rate. Contact me at (206) 903-8182 or email me to learn how I can help your business succeed. [less]

  I was having some confusion regarding a trademark issue and called a different attorney for a consultation. I got off the phone feeling hopeless and even more confused about my situation. Today I called John regarding the same issue, and by the time I got off the phone I felt so much better! He was very clear in his description and explanations of trademark laws, and even looked up my serial number to more specifically answer my questions. It’s that kind of detail, clarity and personal attention I was looking for in an attorney. I would highly recommend John and will hire him in the future!    [less]

  John helped me immensely in a legal matter that I was unsure about. His feedback helped me decide whether I should pursue this matter - I decided not to. This probably saved me a lot of hassle (and money). I very much recommend him - he is very knowledgable about cyber-space issues! (A lot of attorneys aren't. I speak from experience!)   [less]

  John has such a thorough understanding of copyright law that he can explain it clearly and with humor! I got a great benefit from attending his class for writers. Highly recommended for anyone who's got intellectual property rights questions.   [less]
