INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Robertson LLP is uniquely qualified to protect Intellectual Property.  Patents protect new and useful inventions.  Trademark registration is for names, logos, slogans, and other unique features that consumers use to identify a business.  Copyright registration prevents infringement and misappropriation of creative works, such as books, music, lyrics, poetry, photos, scripts, paintings, and sculptures.

Our litigation team takes your intellectual property further than simply securing patent, trademark, or copyright registration.  Robertson LLP helps inventors, businesses, and creators take their work to the next step.  This can involve Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure Agreements, License Agreements, and Non-Compete Contracts.  Furthermore, we can prepare or respond to Cease & Desist letters.

YOUR Litigation LAWYERS

Build your team with Robertson LLP

Jo-Anne has a flair for legal academics, having served on a law school faculty, teaching litigation-driven courses, such as EvidenceLitigation Drafting, and Legal Research & Writing.  Jo-Anne was also the youngest person ever appointed to preside over a Florida court, when she was on the bench for the Fourth Judicial Circuit of Florida.  Because of Jo-Anne’s multi-jurisdictional credentials and experience, she has served as an expert witness in European court, providing direction and legal opinion as to the practice of law in North America.

Ms. Yau has represented businesses across the United States and Canada, and inventors, artists, and performers from around the world.  Jo-Anne takes a creative approach to litigating traditional areas of law, and helps her clients capitalize on innovations, business development, and negotiations.  Emerging markets are her niche.  She is known for tackling controversial topics while the issues are in their infancy, such as the 2010 BP oil spill claims and two historical legislative enactments in 2018 of global significance:  The Canadian Cannabis Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe.

After graduation from Florida Coastal School of Law, Ms. Yau joined a prestigious law firm in the heart of downtown Jacksonville. There, she was mentored in the areas of Personal Injury and Criminal Defense. She learned strategies to negotiate settlements and plea bargains. In addition, she became skilled in the art of litigation in Civil and Criminal Courts. In addition to the firm’s traditional areas of practice, Ms. Yau had the opportunity to develop a new department of Corporate and Intellectual Property Law and focus on the on the areas of Trademark, Patent, Franchising, and Business.
