(Harvard JD/MBA, May 2010)






Debbie Rosenbaum is an associate in DLA Piper's Intellectual Property and Technology practice, based in Washington, DC.

She practices in trademark, copyright and media law, with a specific focus on social media, online advertising and other Internet-based matters. She focuses on the selection, adoption and use of trademarks, domestic and international trademark prosecution and enforcement, and trademark portfolio management. She also assists in litigation matters in the federal courts as well as inter partes matters before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.

Prior to joining DLA Piper, Debbie completed a dual law and business degree (JD/MBA) at Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School, focusing on the intersection of law, business, and policy in the technology sector.  

After graduating Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Washington University in St. Louis, Debbie was a communications consultant and a director of public relations for an impact litigation nonprofit in Washington, DC.   Debbie has worked for Google over the last three years doing strategic marketing and legal policy work.  During her time there, she has been at the forefront of telecom issues, including net neutrality, white spaces, privacy, e-commerce, and the FCC’s national broadband plan.  While completing her graduate work, Debbie works part-time designing new media strategies for entrepreneurs, political campaigns, and non-profits.

Because of her high profile involvement working to defend Joel Tenenbaum who has been sued by the music industry for file-sharing on a P2P network, Debbie has guest lectured at Boston College, Northeastern University and Harvard University.  She has also been featured and noted for her cutting-edge communications work – fusing social media with traditional industries – in dozens of technology publications, television interviews, and documentaries.  Debbie is a writer, editor, and published opinion editorialist for the online version of the Journal of Law and Technology, the nation’s premier technology law journal.
