About Stefan
Biography
As a former engineer and programmer turned lawyer, I help businesses of all sizes deal with intellectual property, technology, and business issues. We also provide general counsel services.
For more than a decade, I have represented clients in high stakes patent, trademark, trade secrets, and other litigations in federal courts throughout the country, and in New York state court. I also advise individuals and businesses on how to best protect their intellectual property and other proprietary information, and how to profit from them.
Best regards,

Harassing driver.
Stefan Stoyanov spends his spare time online harassing cyclists. Probably threatens them on the road too. This isn't just a one time issue. He actively seeks out cyclists and cycling pages to harass them.
