Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When was Lemler IP founded?
A: Lemler IP was established in 2021 by attorney Thomas E. Lemler. Originally founded in New Orleans, Louisiana, the firm relocated to Washington, D.C. in the summer of 2026 to serve a larger client base and be situated in the heart of United States intellectual property law. Since its founding, the firm has focused exclusively on transactional and administrative litigation intellectual property matters, helping clients secure, maintain, and enforce valuable intellectual property assets.

Q: How does Thomas Lemler’s background benefit clients?
A: In addition to his legal training, Thomas Lemler possesses a robust technical foundation, holding a Bachelor’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Master of Science in Energy Management, alongside prior professional experience working in IT and engineering. This technical insight allows him to rapidly understand complex concepts and communicate effectively with inventors and technology-based businesses seeking patent protection.

Beyond his patent capabilities, Thomas draws on his extensive experience in trademark and copyright prosecution, licensing, and business strategy. Having worked at a boutique intellectual property firm and co-created Tulane University Law School’s USPTO-sponsored Patent and Trademark Clinics, he brings a deep, practical understanding of administrative procedures before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This comprehensive, detail-oriented background allows him to provide highly effective counsel to startups, national corporations, international corporations, and creators looking to strategically build, protect, and monetize their entire intellectual property portfolios.

Q: What areas of law does Lemler IP handle?
A: The firm concentrates on intellectual property law, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, licensing agreements, manufacturing agreements, certain unfair competition matters, and related administrative intellectual property disputes. Lemler IP also assists clients with domestic and international intellectual property strategies.

Q: Who does Lemler IP represent?
A: Lemler IP works with a diverse range of clients, including startups, established businesses, inventors, creators, artists, entrepreneurs, and corporations. The firm is dedicated to helping clients protect the ideas, brands, technologies, and creative works that drive their success.

Q: Where is Lemler IP located?
A: Lemler IP is located at 4000 Wisconsin Ave NW, PH01, Washington, D.C. 20016.

Q: Do I need to be located in Washington, D.C. to work with Lemler IP?
A: No. Because patent and trademark prosecution before the USPTO and copyright prosecution before the U.S. Copyright Office are strictly federal matters, Lemler IP is authorized to represent inventors, creators, and businesses located anywhere in the United States, as well as international clients seeking U.S. intellectual property protection.

Q: How does a completely virtual law firm work?
A: Operating as a completely virtual firm allows Lemler IP to serve clients nationwide efficiently and securely. All consultations, strategy sessions, and document reviews are conducted via phone, email, and video conferencing. This modern approach eliminates the need for clients to travel to a physical office, providing flexibility and seamless communication no matter where you are located. Furthermore, eliminating the massive overhead costs associated with a traditional brick-and-mortar law office allows the firm to offer highly competitive, cost-effective pricing without ever compromising on the quality of legal representation.
