For over 35 years, Amy Berge has provided counseling and business advice to global corporations, large and small businesses, and startups. She advises on trademarks, copyrights, technology, advertising, online privacy, licensing, and related issues. As an advisor and litigator, Amy guides clients through protection of their trademark and copyright portfolios – from development and management to exploitation, problem solving, negotiation, and enforcement, and everything in-between.
Amy looks for practical, cost-efficient solutions. Clients rely on her to manage their national and international portfolios, handle disputes, obtain and maintain trademark and copyright registrations, and negotiate agreements. Her industry experience spans publishing, retail, manufacturing, sporting goods, tobacco and related adult products, casinos/horse racing/gaming, health/health insurance, senior living, entertainment, artists, and pharmaceuticals.
Amy has represented clients in Federal Court and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. She has also been called upon as a mediator, having completed her mediation training through the Kentucky Bar Association.
Her advice is informed by time spent in-house, where twice in her career she was “on loan” to key firm clients including a multinational tobacco company and a global automobile producer’s North American manufacturing headquarters.
