Experience

Brandon Carmack applies a litigation lens to every aspect of his practice. He has represented a range of commercial disputes involving both start-up companies and international complex corporations. Carmack now focuses his advocacy in specialized areas of intellectual property and technology litigation. 

Prior to working as an IP litigator, Carmack earned his Bachelor of Arts in Political Economy at Hillsdale College. As part of his degree, Carmack spent two summers in Guatemala where he researched proposed legislation to reform the Guatemalan constitution and its potential effects on the Guatemalan economy.  Upon graduation, Carmack moved from Michigan to Minnesota where he began working for a policy think-tank and eventually moved into banking technology. While working in banking, Carmack helped banks advocate for policy reforms in the bank technology space. His love for economics, technology, and the law drove him to law school, where he graduated magna cum laude.

Carmack enjoys helping companies solve complex business problems related to their intellectual property and commercial disputes. With respect to IP, Carmack protects his clients’ patents, trademarks, and copyrights from infringement. Clients often have a very narrow view as to what constitutes “infringement,” and feel they are powerless to protect themselves. Carmack navigates his clients’ concerns by explaining the true scope of infringement and the tools for protecting the DNA of their business.
