She represents well-known companies in a variety of industries, including entertainment, finance, sports, cosmetics, toys, beverages, publishing and real estate.

In addition to representing clients in federal court and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, Ms. Farrelly helps clients establish, maintain and grow domestic and international trademark portfolios. She negotiates and structures trademark and copyright licenses and assignments; regularly shuts down on-line auctions of infringing goods and false advertising on social media platforms; and resolves domain name disputes through negotiation, federal court litigation, and arbitration under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy.

Named one of the “World’s Leading Trademark Professionals” by World Trademark Review, Ms. Farrelly is recognized by Chambers USA America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, Best Lawyers in America, and Super Lawyers magazine for her intellectual property work. She also has been identified as a top IP lawyer by BTI and is named to the Irish Legal 100, which honors distinguished legal professionals of Irish heritage.

Ms. Farrelly is an Advisory Board Member for the University of Pennsylvania Law School, Detkin Intellectual Property and Technology Legal Clinic, a member of the International Trademark Association (“INTA”) and its Trademark Office Practices Committee, MARQUES, where she is a member of the Brands and Marketing Team, the Copyright Society, the New York Intellectual Property Law Association, and the New York State Bar Association.
