Florida IP Trends is published by me, Kevin W. Wimberly, in Orlando, Florida. This blog reflects my personal opinions about the cases and issues which may appear on the blog and should not be considered to represent the views of my employer, Walters Law Group.
Kevin W. Wimberly is an Associate for the firm and provides representation in all areas of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and related litigation. His prior career in Information Technology gave him valuable experience in computer networking and its underlying hardware and software infrastructure. After working full-time in IT for five years, Mr. Wimberly entered law school to further explore how law and technology work together. While attending law school, he competed in the Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition on Trademarks in 2006 and 2007. In 2006 his team placed 2nd Place Overall and received the 1st Place Best Oralists Award in the regional competition. In 2007, Mr. Wimberly’s team again won 2nd Place Overall for the region. He also served as the Chief Justice of his law school’s Moot Court Honors Board.
Mr. Wimberly has also guest-lectured at Barry University School of Law on the topics of trademark dilution and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and he has co-coached the Trademark Law moot court team.
In January of 2009, Mr. Wimberly co-presented on the topic of Design Patent Infringement in the wake of Egyptian Goddess v. Swisa, 543 F.3d 665 (Fed. Cir. 2008) at a CLE for the Orange County Bar Association Intellectual Property Committee.
