Career

Nadine Jacobson's knowledge of global trademark strategies and conflicts is comprehensive. She has searched, cleared, and prosecuted for registration thousands of trademarks globally. She has litigated and defended hundreds of international Opposition and Cancellation proceedings and infringement actions. She also conducts IP portfolio audits, investigations, and due diligence, and negotiates and drafts IP-related agreements.

When the U.S. joined the Madrid Protocol, Nadine chaired the PLI seminar on this milestone and addressed it at seminars arranged by AIPLA, INTA and other associations. Nadine's knowledge of the Berne and Paris Conventions and the TRIPS Agreement is equally comprehensive.

Her understanding of IP treaties, national trademark laws, and the related enforcement procedures of dozens of foreign jurisdictions informs her strategic advice to trademark owners from the U.S., the EU, Japan, China, and many other countries.
