“As eMusic’s outside trademark counsel for the past two and a half years, Jessica has identified, prepared and prosecuted a host of domestic trademark applications, helped us communicate with and understand the suggestions of our foreign affiliates, and advised and represented eMusic in several domain-name and infringement disputes.  Her analytical and writing skills are superb: she can always find a way to make an argument right on point even if that argument is not immediately obvious, and she can distill complex issues down to a straightforward ‘bottom line.’ On top of that, she is great to work with and she always gives us the maximum effort in the minimum amount of time.”

"I would never consider signing an agreement without Jessica's insight and expertise. She has successfully protected our interests from trademarks to licensing, from joint ventures to consulting contracts. For a small company like ours, Fortune 500 corporations can be challenging and intimidating to work with, but Jessica has consistently enabled us to stand toe to toe with them. She is always quick, efficient, and a pleasure to work with."

"Complex trademark disputes and trademark registration strategies require well-honed capabilities in business practices as well as trademark law. Jessica Friedman possesses experience with internet/new media business that complements her strong legal skills and makes her incredibly effective as our company's trademark counsel. She sees the business implications of any legal issue and her advice has been invaluable. She is an excellent writer, and has been a very effective, tough and pragmatic negotiator on the company's behalf of resolutions to trademark disputes that have arisen from time to time. Jessica prioritizes our company's matters and responds promptly whenever we contact her. She follows the matters to conclusion, even reminding her company contacts to follow up when necessary. Operating as sole practitioner, Jessica doesn't have to support the huge infrastructure of a large firm, and consequently, she has provided her immensely valuable professional services at reasonable rates."

"I have worked with Jessica Friedman for over a decade. I look to her not only for her publishing and copyright expertise and sound advice, but also for her guidance, professionalism, ethics and TLC, which have been tremendously helpful to me and my writing career."
