Overview
Roberta Christensen chairs Koley Jessen’s Intellectual Property Practice Group and provides business-practical, timely counsel on intellectual property matters.
All intellectual property used by a business has a life cycle. That life cycle commences with conception and development, or with respect to that particular business, may commence with purchase or license. With a particular emphasis in trademark law and long-standing relationships with intellectual property attorneys around the world, Roberta helps clients understand and evaluate their options to protect their valuable intellectual property at home and abroad, and in applying for and securing the protections offered under applicable law. In many instances, businesses wish to acquire, rather than develop, intellectual property. Roberta’s extensive experience in drafting and negotiating development, purchase, license and subscription agreements enables her and her team to effectively investigate and evaluate intellectual property rights and deliver solutions that best meet her clients’ needs.
Roberta has been recognized as a leading intellectual property attorney by Chambers and Partners. Chambers notes she “is held in high regard in the market, lauded for her counsel on trademark licensing and registration, as well as IP development.” The publication quoted a client as commenting, "She is helpful, creative and sensitive to client needs. A very valued partner."
She has been named among The Best Lawyers in America® for her work in Copyright Law; Technology Law; and Trademark Law, is AV Preeminent® Rated in the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory and was selected as a Top Rated Lawyer in IP Law by American Lawyer Media and Martindale Hubbell (2015, 2018-2019).
She frequently speaks on intellectual property law and is a past Chair of the Nebraska State Bar Association’s Intellectual Property Section.
