U.S. Trademark & Patent Attorney | USPTO Registered | 18+ Years Experience Hello — my name is Anthony Santangelo (most clients call me Tony). I am a U.S.-based Trademark and Patent Attorney with over 18 years of experience assisting businesses with intellectual property protection in the United States. I am a USPTO-registered Patent Attorney (#61,448) and maintain a full-time law practice with a brick-and-mortar office in New Jersey. I am admitted to practice in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., and I regularly represent both U.S. and international clients who require experienced U.S. counsel. ________________________________________ My Focus on Upwork My work on Upwork is primarily focused on: • U.S. Trademark applications • Office Action responses and refusals • Trademark strategy for foreign applicants • Select patent matters involving USPTO correspondence I do not simply submit filings. I routinely analyze USPTO examiner concerns, refine identifications of goods and services, and defend applications when issues arise during examination. ________________________________________ How I Work Clients value that I am: • Clear and realistic about the trademark process • Straightforward about risk (no guarantees are possible in trademark law) • Responsive, organized, and professional • Focused on getting applications filed correctly the first time I work closely with clients to gather required information, explain USPTO procedures in plain English, and move matters forward efficiently and ethically. ________________________________________ Background Before opening my law practice, I worked for a Fortune 50 pharmaceutical company and in several family-owned businesses. I hold an MBA and have a strong technical and scientific background, which allows me to work effectively with inventors, startups, and growing businesses. ________________________________________ Who I’m a Good Fit For I work best with clients who: • Want a U.S. attorney involved in their trademark matter • Understand that trademark registration is a legal process, not a guaranteed outcome • Value clear communication and professional judgment If you are looking for a U.S.-based IP attorney to handle your trademark matter carefully and responsibly — rather than simply submitting a form — I would be happy to discuss your project.
