Stephanie Spangler, an Associate of the firm’s Intellectual Property and Litigation Practice Groups, dedicates her practice to trademark and copyright matters. She has represented clients from startups to Fortune 100 companies in a variety of industries, including technology, food and beverage, e-commerce, apparel, cannabis, jewelry, video games, film, and arts and entertainment. Stephanie routinely counsels clients on contentious and non-contentious intellectual property matters, focusing on domestic and international trademark prosecution, copyright and trademark enforcement, and licensing. She works with clients to find creative solutions for the selection, registration, use, and protection of their intellectual property rights. She also counsels clients on defamation and right of publicity matters. Stephanie advises clients on all phases of litigation, including pleadings, sophisticated fact and e-discovery, motion practice, argument, mediation, and trial. She appears in federal courts, the state courts of New York and California, and before the USPTO’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. She has represented clients in cases involving trademark and copyright infringement, false advertising, trade secret misappropriation, commercial disparagement, business torts, deceptive trade practices, Lanham Act claims, state and federal unfair competition laws, and other business disputes. Her experience on the litigation side of intellectual property matters has provided her with valuable insight that she leverages for her clients’ benefit in drafting licensing agreements, work-made-for-hire agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and co-existence agreements to reduce her clients’ risks. A co-author of the firm’s trademark, copyright, and unfair competition law blog, More Than Your Mark, and the firm’s Cannabis Law Group blog, Legally Grown, Stephanie enjoys writing on the impact of trademark law on the sports, entertainment, cannabis, and food and beverage industries.
