MSK Partners and Intellectual Property Practice Group Co-Chairs Eleanor M.

The annual list honors the top performing intellectual property attorneys working in patent litigation, trademark and copyright.
From Eleanor's profile...
"Eleanor Lackman traces her path to intellectual property law back to the home she grew up in. Her mother was a music professor, and she and her sister played multiple instruments. When she discovered that law could intersect with music through the IP field, her direction was set. Twenty-three years later, she serves as co-chair of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP's intellectual property practice.
Lackman's caseload reflects the breadth of a practice built at the intersection of copyright, technology and creative industries. In a matter that's still pending, Lackman is navigating a dispute that touches a platform with two million contributors and hundreds of millions of pieces of media."
From Marc's profile...
"Widely recognized as a national leader in combating video game cheating software, Marc Mayer, a partner at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP, came of age as an attorney during a period of legal upheaval: the internet was reordering commerce and culture, the DMCA had just been enacted and copyright law was scrambling to keep pace with digital distribution. Over the past year alone, he has represented the industry's biggest names -- Nintendo, Activision, Riot Games and Take-Two Interactive -- while pioneering the application of the DMCA and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to threats that are reshaping IP law in gaming and entertainment.
"I was very excited to be at the forefront of developing copyright law in the age of the internet and digital technology," Mayer said.
That orientation toward unsettled legal ground has defined his practice ever since."
