Patent, Trademark, Copyright Law Attorney

Licensed patent attorney Al Davis is known to his clients as the “ideas lawyer” for transforming their creative ideas into valuable assets. He has nearly 30 years of valuable experience in the practice of copyright, trademark, and patent law. In that time, he has guarded such famous works as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ ©OSCAR® and the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences’ GRAMMY. His clients span the gamut from individual entertainers, songwriters and inventors to large national corporations. Since April 2003, at the helm of A. F. DAVIS LAW®, Al has used his large firm experience to provide small firm attention to detail and legal value to clients. After receiving his Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Illinois in Civil Engineering, Al worked as a project engineer for Amoco Oil Company for a number of years before attending law school. He received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Wisconsin School of Law where he served as a managing editor of the Law Review. Al’s law practice began in Minneapolis with the national intellectual property law firm of Merchant & Gould. While there, his practice focused on securing patent and trademark rights for clients in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as well as litigating those rights in federal court. He then relocated to the firm’s Los Angeles office. Upon further honing his litigation skills with the international business litigation law firm of Quinn Emanuel, Al launched A. F. DAVIS LAW® in 2003. Al is admitted to practice law in California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Texas, the United States District Courts of those states, and before the United States Courts of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Seventh Circuit, the Ninth Circuit and the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
