Ms. Amy Colleen Leshan | Attorney

Amy helps clients develop and implement intellectual property enforcement strategies across online and offline channels. Her work spans targeted actions—such as UDRP actions, cease and desist letters, and reporting infringement to marketplaces, social media platforms, ISPs, and payment processors—to broader enforcement programs. For large-scale efforts, she assists clients to set up streamlined, tech-enabled solutions, including AI-driven automation, and manages relationships with brand enforcement vendors. She also maintains contacts at major online platforms to escalate issues when needed.

On the criminal enforcement side, Amy works closely with federal agencies and law enforcement to build cases against IP offenders. She also designs programs to register IP with U.S. Customs and international customs offices to intercept counterfeit goods at borders.

Amy is an experienced litigator who has successfully tried patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright cases in federal courts nationwide and before the International Trade Commission. Her litigation practice focuses on discovery and eDiscovery in IP disputes. She also advises on trademark clearance, prosecution, and proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.

Before joining Brooks Kushman, Amy worked in the intellectual property department of a major automotive company, gaining valuable insight into client expectations from an in-house perspective. This experience enables her to anticipate internal corporate considerations and approach legal issues with an understanding of both in-house counsel and business team priorities.
