Squire Patton Boggs expands global trademark team
Trademark partner Candice Kwok has joined Squire Patton Boggs’ global IP and technology practice in Palo Alto in California from the Singapore office of IP firm Marks & Clerk.
With more than 20 years of experience, Kwok specialises in international trademark portfolio strategy and regularly acts for clients in commencing and defending trademarks in opposition, revocation or invalidation proceedings.
Her practice includes trademark clearance, filing and prosecuting trademark applications, advising clients on global branding strategies, development and protection of brand names, trade mark dilution prevention and rebranding.
“Candice brings vast experience managing international trademark portfolios, particularly around and across the Pacific Rim,” said David Elkins, global IP and technology practice group leader.
“I’ve known Candice for quite some time and worked directly with her on multinational trademark litigation. She’s naturally collaborative and with an international perspective that fits perfectly with our global team.”
Commenting on her move, Kwok said, “Squire Patton Boggs' extensive international practice and culture encourages collaboration, and are big draws that will allow me to explore new business opportunities with my colleagues.
“Being at a full-service firm like Squire Patton Boggs, with specialists in every field, will enable me to devise and execute strategies to efficiently achieve my clients’ business goals.”
A Singapore native and fluent English, Mandarin and Cantonese speaker, Kwok was admitted in 2000 to the Supreme Court of Singapore and has been licensed to practice in California since 2010.
