Brandi N. Powe

I represent a variety of clients, both individuals and entities. In my estate planning practice, I represent individuals seeking assistance in preparing their own estate plans by preparing wills, powers of attorney, and living wills. I also have experience in assisting individuals during estate administration, both as beneficiaries and executors of an estate.

In contrast, in the intellectual property and antitrust areas, I primarily represent business entities. In my intellectual property practice, I have provided assistance to both for-profit and non-profit entities, ranging from primarily local organizations and groups focused on the State of Alabama to entities operating across multiple states. Similarly, in the antitrust area, I have represented a range of entities, including public utilities and commercial businesses operating across the U.S. 

In the intellectual property area, my primary focus has been copyright and trademark-related matters. I have assisted clients seeking federal copyright and trademark protection by preparing copyright registration applications and responses to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office during the trademark registration process. My intellectual property practice also focuses on preparing terms of use and privacy policies for use with websites and mobile applications. 

My estate planning practice primarily focuses on aiding clients in preparing their personal estate plans. I have assisted clients by preparing wills, powers of attorney and living wills.

In the antitrust area, I have primarily focused on issues related to restraints of trade under the Sherman Antitrust Act. I have also assisted clients in analyzing antitrust laws at the state level, including analysis of resale price maintenance laws across various states.

Before attending law school, I received my undergraduate degree in computer engineering, as well as a minor in computer science. This background sparked my interest in intellectual property law, leading to my current practice in the areas of copyright and trademark law. In addition to creating my interest in legal issues related to technology, this background has also helped me in analyzing software-related issues in my practice by giving me an understanding of the software our clients seek to use and protect. For example, my background in computer science has proven useful in analyzing issues related to open-source software licenses.
