Biography
Based in Miami, Robert Thornburg is more than just an intellectual property attorney; he is a tireless advocate for innovation and the arts. Over the last 15 years, Robert has built a formidable reputation defending businesses in high-stakes patent and copyright litigation. His deep technical knowledge is backed by a track record of filing over 400 trademark and 100 patent applications, making him a go-to resource for technology-focused companies. Robert’s expertise extends to modern digital challenges like DMCA takedowns and cyber law, where he has led committees for The Florida Bar. He is particularly passionate about supporting Miami’s vibrant community of artists and musicians, even founding the city’s chapter of the Copyright Society. When he isn’t in the office or serving on the boards of organizations like the Coral Gables Community Foundation, Robert is often found in the classroom. As a frequent lecturer at universities like Notre Dame and Florida State, he enjoys mentoring the next generation of legal minds.
