WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK – (July 10,
2009) — Yuval H. Marcus, an intellectual property litigator with 15 years of
experience, has joined Leason Ellis, LLP, the largest IP law firm based in
White Plains, the county seat of Westchester County, New York. Mr. Marcus is
Co-Chair of the Intellectual Property Committee of the Westchester County Bar
Association and a Co-Chair of the IP Committee of the Westchester/Southern
Connecticut Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel.
Mr. Marcus joins the firm as Partner
and will focus on litigating patent, trademark, trade dress, copyright and
trade secret cases in federal court; Uniform Domain-Name Dispute- Resolution
Policy proceedings in the World Intellectual Property Organization; and
oppositions and cancellations in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A seasoned litigator, Mr. Marcus
counsels domestic and international clients on how to utilize effective
strategies to strengthen intellectual property rights in advance of litigation
and how to minimize the risk of any necessary litigation. He works closely with
his clients to understand their short- and long-term business objectives and
develops programs designed to take advantage of the various IP tools available.
Mr. Marcus has a broad range of
experience in many different fields including computers, software, children’s
toys, publishing, entertainment, restaurant, hotel, apparel, jewelry, luxury
goods, cosmetics, furniture and other consumer goods.
A frequent lecturer and writer, Mr.

Trademarked Keywords” at the Search Engine Strategies 2009 Conference and Expo
in New York City. He has also authored and/or co-authored three articles
published in May 2009: “TTAB Fraud,” published in The Intellectual Property
Strategist; “The Importance of Corporate Copyright Compliance,"published in VIP
Magazine; and “Rescuecom v. Google -- The Second Circuit
Holds that Google’s Sale of Trademarked Keywords May Give Rise to Liability for
Trademark Infringement," which was published in the Westchester County Bar
Association Newsletter.
The addition of Mr. Marcus strengthens
Leason Ellis’ litigation practice. “Yuval is a tremendous addition to the firm.
His experience and abilities in the court room round-out our practice and
enable us to enforce our clients’ intellectual property and also defend our
clients against charges of infringement,” said David Leason, Managing Partner
of the Firm.
Leason added that "we are just down
the street from the White Plains Federal Courthouse for the Southern District
of New York, so Yuval can file patent and trademark litigations more easily
than mid-town Manhattan firms."
"I am thrilled to join Leason Ellis,”
said Marcus. “They are thriving in a down economy by offering high-quality
services combined with the newest technologies to effectively serve their
clients," he adds.
Mr. Marcus joins Leason Ellis from
