Cori helps clients establish, maintain and protect their trademarks. Cori has long concentrated her practice on trademark work for clients of all sizes—from individual entrepreneurs and startups to major global brands with thousands of marks worldwide. She routinely handles trademark prosecution and clearance, and she often assists larger clients with global trademark portfolio management, handling international trademark filings and working with local counsel overseas on enforcement actions. Cori also has experience with domestic trademark enforcement, cease and desist letters, and related litigation.

On May 3, 2023, the federal Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (the “TTAB”)—the entity responsible for handling disputes over the issuance of trademarks on a nationwide level—issued a precedential opinion in In re National Concessions Group, Inc. that has significant implications for cannabis companies seeking federal trademark protection.
