Ms. Ogden advises clients regarding intellectual property matters including patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyrights.  Although her practice covers a variety of industries and projects, her focus is on the intellectual property needs of the animal breeding and agribusiness industries.  Her childhood on a family farm instilled a love of the outdoors and an understanding of the unique nature of agribusiness and the entrepreneurs in small businesses.
