About Elliott
Elliott Williams helps businesses make creativity profitable. As an intellectual property attorney, he helps companies protect market share for innovative products and services. For startup companies this is often the crown jewels of the company. Elliott handles enforcement and defense litigation relating to inventions, brands, trade secrets, software, and other forms of creative work product. This often happens in federal court; before federal agencies, e.g., the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, International Trade Commission, Customs and Border Protection; and through online enforcement channels. Many of Elliott’s cases begin and end with a “friendly” letter. He enjoys discovering creative ways to use IP to enhance revenue by limiting unfair competition.
Elliott supports the firm’s energy and natural resources industry group as well as the firm’s climate change initiative. His contributions include advising on IP issues for clean tech companies, on distributed ledger technologies (blockchain), and on trade and tariff issues for renewable energy projects.
Elliott grew up in Alaska, near Anchorage. Before he turned to the law, he taught junior and senior high school at a small private school in Beaverton, Oregon. He also freelanced part time as a web programmer.
