Danielle Toaltoan teams with her clients—from young start-ups to large multinational companies—to safeguard their most important asset: their intellectual property. Specifically, she has significant experience in trademark infringement litigation and enforcement. She counsels clients on trademark clearance, prosecution, portfolio management, anti-counterfeiting strategy, customs enforcement, online marketplace enforcement, and proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.

Clients turn to Danielle for practical guidance when brand issues require both legal judgment and a business-minded response. She helps companies evaluate when to pursue enforcement, when to resolve disputes efficiently, and how to protect their brands across online marketplaces, digital advertising channels, customs enforcement, and other fast-moving commercial environments. Her work often requires coordinating prosecution, enforcement, and litigation strategy so clients can protect valuable rights without losing sight of broader business goals.
