Ellen Song
Founding partner, trademarks
Ellen leads trademark work at Northmark: searches, filings, office actions and oppositions.
Ellen started Northmark to give founders the kind of trademark work that big consumer brands get, at a price set before it starts. She'll tell you when a name is too close to file, and she'd rather spend a week on a new name than a year on a refusal.
Outside the office she's usually at a Minneapolis farmers market, reading labels.
