He also has extensive experience in both patent and trademark prosecution and licensing.
“Joining an international firm of Greenberg Traurig’s stature, geographic reach, and capabilities, is a great opportunity for me to further build my practice on a global platform and provide my clients with a one-stop shop for all their legal needs,” said Pollack. “The firm’s Intellectual Property & Technology Practice has the depth of talent and success that I have long admired.”

He received his J.D. magna cum laude from Stetson University College of Law; his M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University; and his B.A. from Colby College.
“We are excited to have Woody join our team in Tampa and expand our office’s Intellectual Property capabilities,” said David B.
