Marcus Chatterton is a partner at the Birmingham, Alabama office of the corporate law firm Balch & Bingham LLP. He’s a tech-minded litigator experienced in intellectual property, social media, smart grid, electronic data, and general technology issues.
Chatterton represents large and small businesses, inventors, and creative clients in patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret disputes. Working to keep his clients out of court, he often advises on strategies to protect intellectual property, handle large volumes of data from systems like the “smart grid” or automated metering technologies, and on navigating Internet commerce issues and information governance. When he does go to court, Chatterton is experienced as lead counsel for patent, trademark, and copyright infringement actions in federal court, administrative trials before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board and Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and in state courts involving unfair competition, trade secrets, state trademark laws, and internet-based torts.
Chatterton earned his bachelor’s degree at Auburn University and his JD at the University of Alabama School of Law.
The courtroom is often “unfair” due to an imbalance of power and resources. But today’s tech, even AI, can help manage discovery, case presentation, and investigations.
