I represent individuals and companies in a broad range of industries, providing counsel on the acquisition, protection, enforcement, and monetization of intellectual property rights.
Prior to forming Grant Attorneys at Law PLLC, I worked as a patent consultant at AltSchool, Inc. – a community of micro-schools using various technologies to streamline the learning and administrative processes. At AltSchool I worked with several software engineering teams through various stages of the patent process. I provided opinions on the patentability of inventions, conducted prior art searches and drafted search reports, drafted and filed patent applications, and responded to office actions.
I gained valuable experience in intellectual property law and licensing while interning with Ladas & Parry LLP and working as an associate at The Law Firm of Spektor & Tsirkin P.C. Between these two intellectual property law firms, I was exposed to a wealth of legal issues in the areas of patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright law.
Currently, I serve on the Board of Directors of the New York Law School Alumni Association. I am a member of the New York Chapter of Entrepreneurs Organization and I serve on the board of the Entrepreneurs Organization Accelerator.
From Fall 2021 through Spring 2022 I was an adjunct professor teaching the USPTO Trademark Clinic at New York Law School.
