Linda M. Norcross

I tailor practical strategies for trademark adoption and use, concentrating on increasing brand portfolio value and minimizing infringement risk in the most cost effective manner. I offer sound legal guidance to clients throughout the entire life-cycle of their trademarks, from selection and clearance through application prosecution, trademark licensing, maintenance, and dispute resolution.

I negotiate and structure a variety of transactions involving entertainment and related rights, including rights of publicity and copyrighted works. I negotiate and structure the transfers or licenses of such rights for use in third-party branded content and traditional entertainment media.

I provide thoughtful analysis of brand owner's intellectual property rights, identifying any gaps in protection, opportunities for enforcement, and potential risks. I ensure a seamless transition during the due diligence process, ensuring that any intellectual property contemplated in a sale has a clear chain of title.
