We are an experienced, single-attorney law firm. We know from experience the journey of small business growth, yet we also understand the mechanics of large going concerns by virtue of clients we have represented. The result is that we are knowledgeable, agile, and uniquely competitive for anyone seeking comprehensive services. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Palmer Law, PLC brings premium legal protection to the areas of intellectual property, personal injury, business law, trusts and estates law, and civil litigation.
Our intellectual property attorney provides comprehensive intellectual property protection that can be summarized with three words: prosecute, utilize, and litigate. Our trademark prosecution services guide clients through trademark examination at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). We enable clients to utilize their trademarks and copyrighted works by drafting, reviewing, and negotiating licensing and other agreements. We litigate on behalf of our clients by asserting and defending their rights in trademark and copyright infringement actions in court and before ICANN Approved Providers for Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) proceedings.
I protect ideas and their creators. I’ve helped pro bono clients and solo musicians review managerial, licensing, and performance agreements. I’ve also helped large business entities protect their trademark portfolios and litigate copyright infringement matters. My intellectual property experience is broad. I also have a strong background litigating a plethora of matters, including intellectual property, real property, business disputes, and healthcare matters. This background gives me a prospective approach to problem solving, allowing me to identify risks and opportunities early so that my clients maximize valuable resources in the long term. I pride myself on delivering insightful and sophisticated advice to all clients, large and small.
A large part of my practice involves trademark prosecution before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including obviating office action refusals and navigating oppositions and cancellations before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Because trademark prosecution is often the first step toward brand protection, my advice regularly trends toward strategic use, maintenance, and policing of my clients’ brands.
I am a native of Bluefield, Virginia. My practice is in Nashville, Tennessee.
