Farzad Panjshiri is an experienced trademark and copyright attorney who fights passionately for the intellectual property rights of his clients. He has extensive experience in trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights, emphasized by his Master of Laws (LLM) degree in US Intellectual Property Law, his German Law degree, as well as his international and domestic legal experience.

Farzad concentrates his practice on all areas of trademark prosecution, enforcement, and litigation before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and practically all Intellectual Property Offices (IPOs) around the world with the help of a substantial network of foreign partners. He has been counseling individuals, small and midsize businesses, as well as large multinational companies on clearance and availability of marks; formation, maintenance, monitoring, and enforcement of marks; resolution of intellectual property disputes; and IP licensing and transactional matters. Farzad advises clients on copyright law, files copyright applications, and prosecutes applications with the U.S. Copyright Office.

He has been an active member of the International Trademark Association (INTA), American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA), European Communities Trademark Association (ECTA), and Pharmaceutical Trade Marks Group (PTMG) for many years.
