Finnegan announced today that Katie McKnight has joined the firm as of counsel and will be resident in its Washington, DC office. Katie is a former interlocutory attorney at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).
As a TTAB interlocutory attorney, Katie was responsible for researching, drafting, and collaborating with administrative trademark judges and the Solicitor’s Office on seven precedential decisions. She decided and issued orders on all non-dispositive procedural and substantive motions, and drafted decisions for administrative trademark judges on all potentially dispositive procedural and substantive motions. Katie received a bachelor of arts degree in media studies, with a concentration in computer science, from the University of Virginia, and a J.D. from University of New Hampshire School of Law.
“We are excited to welcome Katie to Finnegan,” said Danny Awdeh, leader of Finnegan’s trademark and copyright practice. “Katie’s experience at the TTAB will be a true asset to the firm.”
U.S. News and World Report—Best Lawyers recognized Finnegan as the 2019 Trademark “Law Firm of the Year.” Katie’s experience and insights will further strengthen the firm’s trademark practice in general and bench for TTAB matters in particular.
