Orange County-based Sarah Bro covers a diverse range of life sciences, real estate, healthcare and natural resources based trademark mandates. Chicago’s Jennifer Mikulina has a varied practice that extends across registration, maintenance and enforcement matters for hospitality, insurance and healthcare companies.
