Nicole A. Katsin

Partner

Crown, LLP

I am a Partner at Crown®, LLP, a boutique intellectual property law firm in San Francisco. If your work involves creating, securing, or distributing intellectual property, or if you are a business seeking to secure and use content created by others, Crown is here to help you. Crown clients range from individual artists to large corporations, and they come from myriad industries, from fashion to film, music to marketing, beer to Broadway.

My practice focuses on intellectual property, technology, and cannabis matters, including trademark and copyright prosecution, enforcement, and developing global portfolio strategies. I also represent clients before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) and Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy panels.

Currently, I serve as an Executive Board member of the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Intellectual Property Section and am also an active member of the International Cannabis Bar Association.

Writing is a passion of mine, and I enjoy writing about a diverse range of legal topics pertaining to intellectual property, cyber technology, and cannabis. My comment entitled “Five Stages of Patent Grief to Achieve 3D Printing Acceptance,” was published in Volume 49 of the USF Law Review and has been cited by multiple scholars from top academic institutions.
