John Laurence

John Laurence is a New York intellectual property lawyer at Grant Attorneys at Law with a background in engineering and law. His practice focuses on trademarks, patents, copyrights, and related intellectual property matters for individuals and businesses. He assists clients with developing, securing, and enforcing intellectual property rights and handles counseling, prosecution, pre-litigation disputes, and litigation. His technical background is especially relevant to matters involving technology, product development, and complex patent issues.

Laurence earned an LL.M. in IP and Information Technology from Fordham University School of Law, a J.D. from New York Law School, and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from New York University. His combined legal and engineering training supports close analysis of technical inventions, software and technology issues, brand protection, and creative works. That background helps him translate complicated technical concepts into practical legal strategies for registration, enforcement, licensing, and dispute resolution.

Laurence’s practice includes trademark counseling, trademark applications and prosecution, opposition and cancellation proceedings, trademark litigation, copyright applications and disputes, patent counseling, patent prosecution, and patent litigation. Before entering law, he worked with complex broadcast and post-production systems, giving him firsthand familiarity with technical design and operational systems. He is admitted in New York, registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and admitted in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.

John Laurence combines legal training with practical engineering experience when advising clients on intellectual property protection and enforcement. His work spans the full life cycle of IP rights, from filing and prosecution through licensing, pre-litigation strategy, and courtroom disputes. That mix of technical knowledge and litigation awareness helps clients assess risks, protect valuable rights, respond to infringement concerns, and make informed decisions about intellectual property assets.
