Brittany brings that same strategic approach to trademark disputes and enforcement. She represents clients in opposition and cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, coordinates contentious matters internationally, and negotiates agreements to resolve trademark disputes. Her enforcement work also extends online, where she handles cybersquatting and domain name disputes under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy and advises clients on infringement, impersonation, and unauthorized uses across websites and social media platforms.

Before joining Kilpatrick, Brittany practiced intellectual property law at two international law firms in Chicago, where she counseled clients on trademark and copyright matters and developed and implemented global brand protection and enforcement strategies across a range of industries.

Brittany began her professional career in magazine publishing, where she spent nearly a decade before becoming an attorney. Her experience in media gives her firsthand insight into how brands and creative content are developed and brought to market, which continues to inform her approach to intellectual property counseling.

Brittany earned her J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law, where she served as Associate Editor and later Managing Editor of the Journal of Intellectual Property. She worked in the school’s Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurial Law Clinics and competed in the Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition, where her team won the 2018 National Championship.

Brittany has been recognized as an Illinois “Rising Star” in Intellectual Property by Super Lawyers. In 2023, she received the Chicago Bar Association Young Lawyers Section’s Milton H. Gray Award for outstanding project leadership.
