Justin leads the intellectual property group at Dunkiel Saunders, which assists clients in all areas of IP, including patenting inventions and designs, protecting brands (trademarks, service marks, and design marks), litigating intellectual property infringement disputes, negotiating intellectual property agreements, as well as advising on copyrights and trade secret protection.

In all cases, Justin uses his business and consulting experience to help clients identify and pursue a cost-effective, goal-oriented, solution to their IP needs.
Justin’s patent work experience spans several technological disciplines, including alternative energy, clean technology, electrochemical, electromechanical devices and processes, chemical processes, nutraceuticals, power electronics design and monitoring, mechanical devices and processes, hydrocarbon refining processes, and computer hardware and software. Justin also proactively assists clients in development of global IP strategies and patent portfolio development. A list of patents and published applications written and/or procured by Justin is available upon request.
Prior to joining the firm, Justin worked at a prominent Burlington, Vermont law firm as an intellectual property attorney. Prior to law school, Justin worked for Independent Project Analysis, Inc. as a project management and implementation analyst for the oil and chemical industries and for McMaster-Carr Supply Company as an operations manager.
