Of Counsel
Westchester County, NY

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Jane Collen co-founded Collen IP, one of the top Intellectual Property firms in the country in terms of both the volume of administrative litigation before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and business innovation. Based in New York, the firm provided clients with the full spectrum of IP-related services, with a special emphasis on trademark issues, from the initial trademark application process to litigation and other proceedings in defense of contested trademarks. As an early adopter of the technology it helped protect, Collen IP went paperless in 2002.  

As with all trademark work, Jane’s practice has a major international dimension, including a global network of associated law firms and companies for whom she has obtained registrations on behalf of clients in over 150 jurisdictions worldwide.  

REPRESENTATIVE MATTERS

Jane has taken on leadership roles in various professional associations, including the International Trademark Association (INTA) — she has chaired numerous subcommittees. After serving on the INTA’s Trademark Reporter committee writing book reviews, she currently works on the Copyright Policy subcommittee of the Copyright Committee. She founded BusinessPink®, a networking group for women, is active in the international legal network Consulegis and the Chartered Institute for Trademark Agents and is the former chair of the Westchester County Bar Association’s corporate and commercial committee.
