John A. Alumit - Partner

Background


Mr. Alumit started his career in intellectual property in 1998 as an Examining Attorney for the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). While pursuing his Master of Laws (LL.M) degree in International and Comparative Law at Georgetown University Law Center, Mr. Alumit found employment at the USPTO. Rated highly for production and quality of examination by the USPTO, Mr. Alumit changed his focus to intellectual property. After leaving the USPTO, Mr. Alumit worked for a nationwide law firm in Silicon Valley where he managed the trademark portfolios of various multinational companies. He subsequently performed trademark clearance work for a branding company in the San Francisco bay area, until he started Patel & Alumit, P.C. in 2003. Mr. Alumit believes that trademark clearance is essential to the long-term success of a trademark, and encourages his clients to search for conflicting marks prior to adopting them.

Mr. Alumit has been rated the third highest trademark filer at the USPTO according to the Trademark Insider magazine. He prosecutes trademark applications at the USPTO, and has successfully represented clients before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board in ex parte appeals, oppositions, and cancellations. He has successfully represented clients in ICANN domain name dispute proceedings before the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). He also has experience practicing in the Central District of California in trademark and copyright infringement matters.
