Diana Muller is a recognized expert in international trademark
and copyright law, worldwide licensing, and in the transfer
of technology and security interest agreements. Her work with
sports marketing firms, sports agents, and professional athletes
has also made her a driving force behind the creation of programs,
here and abroad, for the protection of the names and likenesses
of famous sports figures and entertainers.
Ms. Muller has written and lectured extensively on such topics
as licensing, trademark developments, foreign investments,
and the protection of intellectual property rights in developing
countries. She has spoken at the New York Women's Bar Association
and the National Conference for Women in Business, on the
subject of careers in entertainment and fashion licensing.
Ms. Muller has been a guest lecturer on intellectual property
at New York University and at Inter-American Association of
Industrial Property (ASIPI) conventions where she has given
talks on sports licensing, IP licensing, and the protection
of images in Costa Rica and Mexico. She is also actively involved
in ASIPI’s Trademark and Administrative Committees.
Ms. Muller has taken part in panel discussions for many institutions
and publications, most recently at the inaugural Women's Wear
Daily Legal Roundtable on Protecting Intellectual Property,
where she spoke about the financial losses companies face
when they fail to see global counterfeiting as a serious threat.
