patent + trademark attorney

FisherBroyles provides intellectual property counsel to individual inventors, startups, and established companies. Its services span U.S. and international patent prosecution, trademark protection, copyrights, licensing, and enforcement, helping clients protect both their innovations and the brands behind them.

Gregory S. Bernabeo is a partner in the firm’s Philadelphia office. He holds a mechanical engineering degree from Bucknell University and both law and MBA degrees from Villanova University. His practice emphasizes using intellectual property strategically to support each client’s business goals.

Greg’s experience includes advising a consumer product inventor before incorporation and developing coordinated patent and trademark strategies for the planned business. That product subsequently reached mass-market retailers in the United States and abroad. His technical work also spans industrial and clean technologies, medical and healthcare products, and computer hardware and software.

Beyond preparing applications, Greg evaluates patentability, infringement, and freedom to operate, and helps develop design-around approaches to competitors’ patents. He also assists with trademark selection and clearance, portfolio management, and agreements covering confidentiality, manufacturing, and licensing.

For product businesses, FisherBroyles’ broader IP practice addresses issues that arise throughout development and commercialization, including ownership of work created by employees and contractors, trade secret protection, and transactional due diligence. Its patent team brings technical experience across mechanical, electrical, medical, chemical, and computer technologies.
