George W. Lewis
Mr. Lewis began his legal career as a trademark an copyright attorney in the corporate legal department of Warner
Communications (now Time Warner) where his primary responsibility was the registration, protection and enforcement
of the trademarks of DC Comics and Warner Brothers Looney Tunes Cartoon, subsidiaries of Warner's. Chief among his
responsibilities was the policing of the SUPERMAN trademark and copyright property. Diverting from a legal career
for several years, Mr. Lewis operated his own company in the growing cable television industry. He returned to the
practice of law in 1987 as an associate and then a partner with the Firm. His primary focus is on counseling clients
in connection with domestic and foreign trademark matters. His experience includes extensive work on foreign and domestic
trademark applications and supervising litigation and contested proceedings before the Patent and Trademark Office if the
United States and around the world. Mr. Lewis takes pride in his ability to register marks, which have been considered not
remittable by his colleagues. His perseverance when faced with rejections by the Patent and Trademark Office has frequently
resulted in registration of difficult marks. He is the founder and Chairman of FOG, a society of international Intellectual
Property professionals.
