Tim Kelly is an intellectual property lawyer and certified ADR specialist with more than 30 years of experience in the field. Tim began his career with one of the country’s largest IP-specialty firms, eventually becoming a partner and Chair of the firm’s Trademark Practice Group.

After briefly transitioning to a regional general practice firm in the New York metropolitan area in 2017, Tim concluded that the best and most efficient way to serve his clients was to start a small, trademark-focused firm.

He has also had experience negotiating and litigating Internet domain name and other e-commerce disputes, as well as copyright matters.

Tim has a biology/chemistry background and has handled patent litigation matters in the District Courts and at the Federal Circuit.
