Overview

Mark Einsiedel is an intellectual property attorney with more than eight years of experience guiding clients through the most effective courses of action to protect, sustain and strengthen intellectual property rights. He has also handled cases pertaining to patent and trademark infringement and trade secret misappropriation, working with clients ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. His areas of concentration include worldwide patent portfolio management, counseling, exploitation, enforcement and litigation in federal court and before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

For an entrepreneurial-minded attorney such as Mark, a practice that targets patent litigation and electrical, mechanical and computer science prosecution is second nature. Before graduating law school, Mark’s inventiveness had already helped inspire two unique companies: one that launched a medical device for diagnosing malaria in third-world countries and another that specialized in the sale of rare shoes.
