Spencer Fane is pleased to announce attorney John Picone’s inclusion in the Daily Journal’s 2025 Top Intellectual Property Lawyers list in recognition of his industry-leading work in patent, trademark, and copyright law.
In his honoree profile, John was spotlighted for his illustrious legal work in high-profile patent infringement cases, his new role as Spencer Fane Intellectual Property Practice Group Leader, and the influence his career as a U.S. Navy Aviator continues to have on his work.
“There’s a naval officer thing: You are personally responsible for every sailor. So, I have paternalistic feelings about my group. But we made a good move. I’m head of IP here now, heading a practice of 50-plus lawyers … and if I have my way, we’re going to get even bigger.”
At the firm, John specializes in complex cases that deviate from standard practices and require meticulous research, comprehensive knowledge, and high-level creativity to protect clients’ interests. As leader of the Spencer Fane IP Practice Group, he guides industry-renowned attorneys across the firm’s national footprint who guide individuals and businesses through preparation and prosecution of complex patent, copyright, and trademark matters.
