Richard (Rick) Young helped clients compete by leveraging their brands and intellectual property to advance their larger business objectives. With more than three decades of experience, Rick litigated patent, trademark, and copyright actions in federal trial and appellate courts around the country, across a broad range of issues.

Much of Rick's experience was in working with middle-market businesses, for which he not only litigated IP cases but counseled on the broader implications and opportunities of IP for their business and for strengthening the competitiveness of their brands and their products. Rick represented companies in diverse industries, including advertising, publishing, hardware, manufacturing, home furnishings and apparel.

Rick's overarching goal was to help clients achieve their objectives. He was creative - a lateral thinker who saw the whole of his clients' business and how he could help get them where they wanted to be in the marketplace.
