francine’s

biography

Francine’s intellectual property (IP) law practice focuses on helping clients assess, develop, and protect their valuable IP. She counsels clients on the best and most effective way to achieve copyright protection. She also educates clients as to what can be protected by trademark (e.g., words, logos, slogans, designs, sounds, and in some cases colors and fragrances), and how to defend those valuable rights. Authors hire Francine to counsel them on the intricacies of the publishing process, which often involves carefully negotiating their book contracts. For clients with websites, Francine educates them on the importance of well crafted terms of use and privacy policies, especially in light of the enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Fear Ain't Nothing But A Four-Letter Word

What is more cunning, baffling, powerful, and more deadly than a speeding bullet?
Fear!

In any given year, F-E-A- R takes more lives than cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, cancer, and car accidents combined. It ruins families and is arguably the root cause of

more depression and is the single biggest barrier to living a life of endless possibilities. F-E-A-R keeps us stuck, broke, dependent, and living beyond our means. It is the ultimate jailor because when F-E-A R comes to visit it takes plenty of prisoners.

It is the one thing we all have in common, whether we are head of our own company, working for someone else, retired, single, married, divorced, or in search of our-selves. In this program Francine demonstrates strategies for helping the audience get past this deadly killer of hope and dreams.
