About Scott R. Austin

As a lawyer who is Board Certified in Intellectual Property Law by the Florida Bar with 34 years of experience, I am well prepared to assist you with either transactions or litigation involving patents, trademarks, copyright, or publicity rights. In addition, since the dawn of the Internet I have my used computer programming skills to tailor my practice to online and digital derivatives affecting intellectual property, such as software copyright, website content infringement, resolving domain disputes under UDRP/URS arbitration, digital asset seizures, phishing site takedowns, privacy breach remediation and cybersecurity compliance.

If you are facing a trademark Goliath and need to negotiate a co-existence agreement – call me. If you need to find the source of a site counterfeiting your products and recover against an online abuser whose identity is masked or falsified - call me. If someone registered a domain that uses your trademark or screen-scraped your content for their bogus website – call me! If you need help vetting domains for a new business or crafting a new brand for your current business- call me.

We apply a creative and sophisticated legal approach to creative works, crafted brands, and patent trolls. Call me - we will answer your questions. I lead the Florida office of a national law firm based in Silicon Valley with nationally known partners in venture capital, finance, banking, and IP, including patent prosecution by partners with the highest credentials in the engineering disciplines needed to obtain patents in the software, pharma, chemical, and electronics industries.

We also collaborate on patent litigation, trade secrets litigation, R&D finance, and technology mergers and acquisitions. VLP provides the infrastructure and bench depth needed to stay current on evolving intellectual property areas our clients face within a predictable and cluster free budget. When I started my practice here in intellectual property and corporate law after graduating from Georgetown Law in Washington, D.

C. over 30 years ago, the Internet had yet to be born. Since that time, as online business evolved, I have been honored to resolve intellectual property problems for hundreds of technology executives and business founders. Their companies ranged from tech startups to leading national consumer electronics distributors, NFL and MLB MVPs, international sports equipment manufacturers, national beverage distributors, media organizations, academic standards organizations, restaurant franchisors, universities, faith-based schools and ministries, hospitals, physicians, supplement developers, a startup airline, international cosmetics and perfume distributors and technology certification labs.

Like many of my clients, I too have had to make the hard business choices and manage the risks you take. As an inventor, business owner, programmer, and technologist, my experience, along with my training and business savvy gives me a deep appreciation for the business risks and rewards clients face and helps me understand and offer unique strategies to clients on protecting and fighting for their inventions, brands, and artistic productions.

My wife and I have raised our two sons in South Florida and have embraced the unique multicultural business community that has prospered here. Call and let me show you how we can help you with your legal needs.
