Michael J. Tier, Esq. is an intellectual property attorney with extensive experience handling trademark and copyright issues. He has served clients in a wide variety of industries, including biosciences, pharmaceuticals, health care, consumer goods, retail, and hospitality.
The first part of Michael’s career was spent as a trademark paralegal, working for both large law firms and large corporations. He spent this time observing and learning from experienced intellectual property attorneys, gaining an extensive knowledge of the intricacies of trademark and copyright prosecution and enforcement along the way.

Michael’s law practice now focuses on all phases of trademark procurement, clearance, counseling, and enforcement, including federal litigation and proceedings before the Trial Trademark and Appeal Board.
Throughout his practice, Michael has been an active member of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division, the Benjamin Franklin American Inn of Court, and Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers of the Arts.
