Mark Wayne Good

I have known Mark Good for most of the time he has been in law practice, starting with when I hired him as an associate in my Monterey law firm many years ago, where he handled various IP law issues and real estate disputes and related matters. He is an unusually patient lawyer to whom I sent some of... my most difficult clients. When I went into semi-retirement in early 2003, he went with a firm in San Jose and now has his own successful Gilroy office. Since then I have referred dozens of TM and Copyright clients to Mark, and I have personally consulted with him as my best TM law resource in some extremely complex cases. When you have doubts about your own understanding of the IP laws, especially TM matters, ask Mark for the definitive answer. If he does not know the answer, he will admit it, and then find it for you. He is also very conscious of the cost of legal fees and bills all his cases on a very reasonable scale. In short, Mark is an excellent IP lawyer well deserving his 5-Star Excellent rating.

Mark and I spoke in a quick consultation and he was friendly and knowledgeable. We spoke about trademark law and he asked for details and pointed out several areas to help my particular project to be sure I was clear with the law. He gave several extra pointers for what to watch out for and was not p...ushy. He didn't bring up working together in the future, but was happy to help if the need came up again. We spoke about the use of trademarks as it relates to domain names and he brought up current issues in court and what is generally allowed and not allowed. He knows his material.

His last name should be changed to Great, because Mark Good is much more than good! He has skillfully handle a variety of my intellectual property issues for the past 15 years. Whether it was about publishing, graphic arts, contract negotiation or copyright ownership, Mark Good has been most helpful.... He's my rock and I HIGHLY recommend him. So call him!

I consulted Mark on a neighborhood real estate dispute. After a thorough discussion of the law, facts, and practical considerations, Mark suggested a nonlitigation approach. This turned out to be excellent advice,. The matter was resolved in a manner which left the parties relatively amicable an...d which was much cheaper and faster than a trip to the courts. As a disclaimer, I was of-counsel to Terra Law for some years. I chose to consult Mark from the many attorneys I know because of my respect for his legal skills and judgment I saw while at the firm.

Attorney Mark Good has represented me in numerous intellectual property related matters over the last 14 years, including matters which were litigated at the highest levels of the trademark trial and appeals process. Mark Good’s representation has always been outstanding. Mr. Good has an innovati...ve legal mind, is detail oriented and highly professional. I strongly recommend Attorney Mark Good for any person or company in need of effective counsel for intellectual property related matters.
