Professional Biography

Christina D. Frangiosa is a Partner in the Plymouth Meeting, PA office of Neal & McDevitt, a leading boutique intellectual property, marketing and information technology law firm specializing in all aspects of trademark, copyright, unfair competition, marketing, advertising, promotions, IT and Internet law.

Chris counsels clients across various industries about intellectual property and technology law. Her combined litigation and transactional practice concentrates on copyright and trademark matters – from search & clearance, to prosecution, to licensing and enforcement.  In the context of enforcement, her coverage is similarly wide ranging from infringement and counterfeiting, to unfair competition, false advertising, and the influence of artificial intelligence on the protectability of creative works.

Chris consistently works with her clients to educate them about protecting their copyrights and trademarks, including providing specific advice about navigating the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office’s trademark registration systems and about effectively launching and using their marks in commerce to permit long-term maintenance of their valuable brands.  She has appeared in state and federal courts on behalf of her clients in trademark and other litigation matters, and represents brand owners in opposition and cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).  Her clients have included advertising companies, authors, computer software developers, consulting firms, educational institutions, entertainment-related companies, entrepreneurs, financial and insurance companies, manufacturers, nonprofit organizations, consumer retail establishments, service companies, and graphic designers, among others.

Chris is also very active in the legal community, serving in many key leadership roles of the American Bar Association’s Section of Intellectual Property Law, providing legal commentary on IP-related issues in the mainstream media, authoring articles, leading CLE seminars, and serving as the publisher of the Privacy and IP Law Blog, which has addressed recent developments in trademark, copyright, computer, data security, and privacy law since 2009.
