Steven Weigler is dedicated to delivering sophisticated trademark and intellectual property counsel tailored to the unique needs of each client and their brands in the United States and internationally.

Over the years, he has developed a streamlined, cost-effective trademark registration process that combines deep subject-matter expertise with advanced clearance, prosecution, and portfolio management technologies. This approach enhances efficiency, improves predictability, and enables clients to protect and grow their brands with confidence.

Beyond trademark prosecution, Steven advises clients on comprehensive intellectual property strategies that integrate trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, and, where appropriate, patents. His strategic approach is designed to protect valuable intangible assets, mitigate legal and business risk, and maximize the long-term value of intellectual property portfolios.

An experienced trademark litigator, Steven represents clients in disputes and enforcement matters nationwide. He provides practical, business-focused counsel and effective advocacy before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in federal and state courts. His approach balances cost efficiency with the sophisticated legal knowledge required to protect and enforce intellectual property rights in today's competitive global marketplace.

Having founded and grown several businesses himself, Steven brings an entrepreneur's perspective to his legal practice. In addition to serving as trademark counsel, he acts as outside general counsel to a number of companies, advising business leaders on a broad range of legal and strategic issues.

Steven and his dedicated team from EmergeCounsel recently joined Buchalter to better serve the evolving needs of his growing client base. As his clients expanded, many required the comprehensive capabilities of a full-service law firm. Buchalter's commitment to delivering practical business solutions—combining exceptional legal expertise, commercial insight, and cost-conscious strategies to achieve efficient, effective results—closely aligns with Steven's own client-centered philosophy.

  • Since the advent of the internet, international trade has opened a lot to the point that almost every company is interacting with consumers and/or businesses from other countries. Unless we all sell widgets, every product (and even some services) has some sort of intellectual property integrated into it. Intellectual property is defined as intangible property subject to ownership which generally is of the mind. Examples include patents, trademarks, copyright and trade secret. Generally it is protect it or lose it. Protecting it in selected countries around the world can be complicated, multi-jurisdictional and multi-dimensional, but not protecting it can be catastrophic. This course will begin with an overview of the types of intellectual property and the methods to get a wrapper of protection in the United States. It will then look at a series of cases of how attorneys and business experts determine how to protect products as they travel through the international supply chain and commerce, before looking at the tools available to maximize intellectual property protection for participants at a minimum of price. At the end of the course, the participants should be familiar with: the types of intellectual property protection tools available in the US and world, how companies weave those intellectual property tools to protect their products worldwide and perhaps with the help of counsel, how they can also, Instructor, International Intellectual Property Protection, World Trade Center, International Trade, 2025
