I wish I would have met Gary 2 years earlier. He has helped my company immensely in cleaning up a legal TM mess left behind by (3) previous attorneys. Truly an IP Law expert, he has helped us navigate several TM lawsuits as well as procure and protect new trademarks.

Founder/Owner/ Chairman of Sibu, LLC

I was introduced to Gary D.E. Pierce in 2014. After a very difficult legal dispute involving a trademark issue in which we basically lost the case, Gary was presented the settlement that was handed down to our company to review and see if he could make any suggestions. You must understand that our ...company felt very bad about the outcome of the settlement. Gary met with us a short time later and presented 5 or 6 possible solutions that could possibly enhance our position in the future. One remedy that he proposed was truly exceptional and opened the door for a legitimate improvement over all that we could have hoped for. Gary was diligent, resourceful, and extremely pleasant to work with. I could not be happier with the outcome. I esteem Gary as perhaps the best legal council I have every hired and continue to use him today. He is an 11 on the scale of being outstanding in his profession. I am proud to know such an outstanding individual and professional as Gary D.E. Pierce.

IP litigation

Gary Pierce is an experienced trademark attorney who specifically helped guide me (President&CEO) through two difficult cases recently. Specifically, he helped me with a suit wherein my brand was being wrongfully bullied. We dealt with a non-communicative, indifferent company who simply refused to ...sit down and work through issues. It was frustrating and expensive and a non-productive use of my time. Gary assisted me with tailoring the right conversation and dialogue pieces that brought a standstill to some reasonable resolution. In another unrelated case, our company had been misrepresented by another firm wherein we found ourselves with a decree motion that was entirely unsatisfactory to my company. While we are still working through the details, Gary Pierce helped us in establishing the right strategy to counteract this issue and protect our brand at the same time.

Favorable results

I had a trademark issue with the name of my business. Gary did the research, identified the flaws in the claim and successfully resolved the issue with the other party. He is thorough and accurate at what he does.
