About

Tanya Curcio counsels clients regarding a wide range of trademark and copyright issues. For almost two decades she has managed global trademark portfolios and devised national and international filing and enforcement strategies for startups and multinational corporations alike. Balancing risk, practicality, and budgets, Tanya develops a plan to meet client’s clearance, filing, prosecution, and brand enforcement objectives and then puts the plan into action. She also handles intellectual property due diligence, acquisitions, licenses (including music licenses), co-existence agreements, enforcement, and disputes, including before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) and managing foreign oppositions and cancellations working with an extensive network of international firms. Though Tanya has worked with clients in a variety of industries such as fashion, cosmetics, hospitality, restaurant, consumer goods, software, and healthcare, Tanya is particularly well known for her work in the music industry.

Tanya began her legal career at a boutique entertainment firm in New York City, where she negotiated and drafted recording, publishing, and other entertainment-related agreements for high-profile clients, including recording artists, music publishers, producers, songwriters, and music-based online platforms. Prior to attending law school, Tanya worked at Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment and EMI Music Publishing, where she handled music licensing and royalty calculations.
