About
Brian P. Kinder is managing partner of The Kinder Law Group, APC. He practices exclusively in the field of Intellectual Property ("IP") and is one of only a handful of Southern California attorneys who have been honored as Super Lawyers®, Rising Stars in this area of the law. For more than a decade, he has helped his clients to develop and protect their valuable IP rights throughout the world and is well-versed in both domestic and international patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, false advertising and franchise laws. On the development side of his practice (i.e., transactional work), Mr. Kinder focuses on assisting clients in safely promoting and selling their products and services across the globe. He oversees and counsels clients on trademark clearance searches as well as the preparation and filing of patent, trademark and copyright applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (U.S.P.T.O.) and Copyright Office. Over the course of his career, Mr. Kinder has not only handled broad domestic trademark registration portfolios, but has also been involved with some of the largest brand campaigns in the world - spanning more than 120 countries across the globe. Mr. Kinder regularly drafts and negotiates license agreements, work for hire agreements, athlete endorsements, model releases, web site use policies, and trade secret protection policies and procedures.On the protection side of his practice (i.e., litigation), Mr. Kinder has extensive experience in successfully defending and prosecuting disputes before various federal and state courts, the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board (T.T.A.B.) in Washington, D.C., and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva, Switzerland. Throughout numerous patent, trademark and copyright infringement cases, false advertising and unfair competition claims, misappropriation of trade secrets, and franchise disputes, Mr. Kinder has employed the effective use of discovery and motion practice to identify the strengths of his client's case while simultaneously exposing the weaknesses of his opposition. These tactics have, in most instances, allowed Mr. Kinder to successfully negotiate settlement agreements for his clients without the time and expense of a full trial. In those instances where trial is necessary, however, Mr. Kinder is a skilled trial lawyer who has obtained millions of dollars in arbitration awards and jury verdicts. Recently, as lead trial counsel in a nearly month-long jury trial, Mr. Kinder earned a place among an exceedingly rare category of attorneys who have obtained punitive damage awards in franchise cases.

Reviews
Brian's intelligence, integrity, and perseverance are unmatched. He is consistently on target; he is talented beyond anything you could imagine. Incredibly sharp, results driven, tenacious. I am so thankful to have met him!
Brian has an exceptional intellect and knowledge, I have had the privilege to work with Brian on several endeavors, and I truly value his high quality professional attitude and advice.
I have worked with Brian Kinder since 2008 when I heard him give a talk on TM pitfalls. His knowledge is complimented by honesty, fairness and organization. I've never had a lawyer that I looked forward to talking with and would invite to my family parties I don't worry about the bill I'm going to get hit with like I do with other attorneys. A joy to work with!
When I first spoke with Brian I was struck at how professional, courteous, knowledgeable and bright he sounded. Those initial impressions have proven to be very accurate as he has successfully represented me over time. Brian is a tireless, relentless advocate who always kept my best interests the priority. His depth of knowledge and ability to analyze the situation from all angles always impressed me. Brian is easy to work with and relate to. Exceptional intelligence without the arrogance! An honest, straight-arrow.
Brian is a unique individual; he is passionate about what he does and he ALWAYS does what is best for his client, that aside, he is incredibly knowledgeable. I trust Brian implicitly, and of those I know who have worked with him, 100% feel the same way. I do not know what I would have done had I not met him, and am so thankful that I have. It is my pleasure to write this recommendation for Brian, and I do so without reservation and with the utmost sincerity.
