David Ewen
Counsel
David Ewen is a member of the firm's Business and Corporate practice. He concentrates on intellectual property (IP), focusing on all aspects of trademark, copyright, domain name, and right of publicity law.
David counsels clients through every phase of the brand lifecycle, from trademark clearance through registration, both domestically and abroad. In addition, he routinely assists clients in enforcing and defending IP rights before the U.S. Trademark Trial & Appeal Board and its foreign counterparts, the National Arbitration Forum, and the federal courts. David also has extensive experience with commercial transactions implicating IP rights, from negotiating agreements with employees, independent contractors, and prospective business partners, to advising buyers and sellers on IP issues in the course of mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate transactions.
Having represented clients ranging from individuals and start-ups to international corporations, and spanning a wide variety of industries—such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, the visual arts, dietary supplements, data communications, real estate, luxury goods, and financial services—David does not believe in a “one size fits all” IP strategy. Rather, by understanding each client’s current and future needs, he provides legal advice tailored to help each client achieve its specific, individualized goals.
David is a member of the International Trademark Association (INTA) and over the years has established strong relationships with attorneys throughout the world in order to serve his clients wherever their businesses may take them.
