Intellectual-property attorney Katti joins Barclay Damon

SYRACUSE — Barclay Damon LLP announced that Pranav Katti has joined the law firm’s Intellectual Property Litigation and Patents & Prosecution practice areas as an associate attorney. 

He will work primarily from the firm’s Syracuse and New York City offices.

Katti focuses his multifaceted practice on all aspects of litigating intellectual-property matters involving copyrights, trademarks, and patents, as well as related legal issues in contracts, civil procedure, brand protection, and patent and trademark prosecution. His litigation experience also includes issues involving photography and film, breach-of-contract claims, and brand protection, Barclay Damon said in a news release.

Katti has a background in music, which has given him a “unique perspective and understanding when working with creative individuals seeking to achieve their intellectual property goals,” the release stated. He encourages these artists to protect their works through their intellectual-property rights. 

His bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering (from Lehigh University) and work experience also allows him to connect with inventors and assist them in protecting their intellectual property through patents, the law firm said. Katti earned his law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City.

Before joining Barclay Damon, Katti was an intellectual-property litigation associate attorney at Leichtman Law PLLC in New York City, according to his LinkedIn profile. He led and supported a multi-faceted practice involving all aspects of litigation in copyright, trademarks, patents, and commercial disputes, as well as related transactional issues involving contracts, business relationships, licensing, brand protection, and trademark prosecution.

Barclay Damon says it has nearly 300 attorneys firmwide in offices located across the Northeast in the United States and Toronto, Ontario.
