Jamie Sternberg
Jamie’s passion for intellectual property law began in 2000 as a senior at Tufts University. It was the middle of the dot-com boom, and on one fateful day during an internship at Monster.com, she discovered that she wanted to spend her career working with businesses to protect their most important assets — their intellectual property. Jamie hasn’t looked back since.
For more than 20 years, Jamie has protected the trademarks and copyrighted works of entrepreneurs, non-profits, global corporations, and those in between.
Jamie has significant experience in the U.S. and globally with strategic trademark and copyright protection, enforcement, defense, transactions, and litigation. Jamie has practiced extensively before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and in federal courts across the country.
Over the course of her career, Jamie has registered hundreds of trademarks with the USPTO, taken down thousands of infringing domain names, websites, social media pages, and mobile apps, and resolved a high percentage of infringement disputes in her clients’ favor without resorting to litigation. She also has a perfect success rate with Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy (UDRP) proceedings (she’s been involved in 15).
Clients regularly praise Jamie’s accessibility and her ability to creatively and efficiently solve problems and resolve disputes.
Jamie has been recognized as a top trademark attorney by World Trademark Review WTR 1000 (2022 – 2025) and by Super Lawyers for her intellectual property practice in Connecticut (2022) and Massachusetts (2024).
Jamie has been an International Trademark Association (INTA) committee member for more than a decade and currently serves on the Professional Development Committee. She is also a contributing author for the 2022 bestselling book Women in Law: Discovering the True Meaning of Success.
Jamie also owns Drumlin Strategies, LLC, where she coaches, consults, and trains IP attorneys on business development and LinkedIn and prepares them to attend industry conferences.
