Career

Working with startups, small businesses, and global corporations, for over 30 years Amy Berge has provided strategic counseling and business advice on intellectual property, technology, advertising, online privacy, licensing, and related issues. As an advisor and litigator, Amy guides clients through protection of their trademark portfolios – from development and management to exploitation and enforcement and everything in-between.

Amy is practical and looks for cost-efficient solutions. Clients rely on her to manage their portfolios, handle disputes, obtain and maintain trademark and copyright registrations, resolve disputes, and negotiate agreements.

“I typically take a holistic approach to my practice, helping clients solve problems. But when it’s necessary, I will fight for my client.”

Amy has broad experience protecting her clients’ rights in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. Amy has argued lawsuits before Federal Courts and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. In addition, she has completed mediation training through the Kentucky Bar Association.

Her advice is informed by her time spent in-house, where twice in her career she was “on loan” to key firm clients.

Amy is committed to mentoring and promoting female attorneys and executives. She has served as Counsel for the National Association of Woman Business Owners and for Women 4 Women, a local organization committed to the needs of women and girls in the community. Currently, Amy is a Board Member and Executive Committee Member of the Jeffersontown Chamber of Commerce and the Jeffersontown Economic Development Authority. She has also been recognized for her efforts in supporting diversity and inclusion.
