Background

About Win Martin

I am an intellectual property and technology lawyer who devotes my practice to advising clients on all aspects of trademark, copyright, unfair competition, and internet and domain issues. For over a decade, I've helped clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies to individuals establish and protect trademarks and copyrights and designed and implemented complex enforcement strategies to protect them. My experience spans the management of expansive and sophisticated portfolios owned by global brands, protection of nontraditional trademarks such as product configuration and packaging, along with colors and sounds, domain name arbitration proceedings, licensing, and corporate restructuring. My goal is to serve as a trusted and embedded advisor who provides practical, concise, and business-savvy advice-advice that is informed by a combination of private practice experience and years embedded with in-house counsel. For more than two years, I was seconded to Amazon’s trademark group, where I integrated into fast-moving teams crucial to building the company’s enforcement mechanisms and protocols. This background is crucial to helping creating seamless transitions with in-house partners, building highly responsive, trusted teams who take pride in understanding their clients’ businesses. I have been recognized by Super Lawyers as a “Rising Star” in Washington state from 2017 through 2023, by Best Lawyers as a “One To Watch” from 2021 through 2023, and one of the world's leading trademark practitioners by the World Trademark Review. I'm proud to serve on the board of Seattle Children's Theater, where I bring my passion for childhood arts education to one of the nation's premiere theaters for children and young adults.
