Antigone Peyton
Antigone leads the Intellectual Property and Technology Law practice at Protorae Law. She focuses on complex privacy and cybersecurity issues, and data management projects for small and large companies, in addition to IP portfolio management and growth strategies which include development and enforcement of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights. Her practice also includes unfair competition, DMCA violations, computer fraud, and technology law issues including social media, IoT, cybersecurity, and cloud computing. A prolific speaker, Antigone regularly explores the intersection of law and technology issues involving privacy, data security, cloud computing, cryptocurrency, blockchain, social media, and other technology law complexities.
Having worked for former Chief Administrative Law Judge Paul Luckern at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the Honorable Kimberly Moore at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal Circuit), Antigone brings a practical perspective to her litigation and client counseling practice.
Before she joined Protorae Law Antigone founded Cloudigy Law, an intellectual property boutique firm. Previously, Antigone was a litigator at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP, in Washington, DC, managed the firm’s electronic litigation group focused on e-discovery, and was a member of the firm’s Bio/Pharm practice group. Before law school, Antigone conducted scientific research involving clinical and pre-clinical biophysics and magnetic resonance studies at a large university medical center. All of these experiences sharpened her focus on business needs and the practical aspects of innovation efforts when crafting legal solutions—a perspective often missing in the legal field.
