About Aurelia
Aurelia Mitchell Durant
Partner at Rimon. Intellectual-property and international-business attorney with more than 25 years of legal experience.
Aurelia Mitchell Durant has practiced law since 1999. She is a Partner at Rimon whose work sits at the intersection of intellectual property, international business, commercialization, and ownership strategy.
Her publicly documented experience includes complex trademark, patent, and copyright matters before the USPTO, TTAB, and U.S. Copyright Office; management of international IP portfolios for national organizations; and investment-financing, licensing, and brand-protection work for a multinational toy venture.
Across her practice, she has worked with business owners, creators, innovators, consumer-product and e-commerce companies, service businesses, media and entertainment interests, nonprofit organizations, and internationally oriented ventures. That range is the practical foundation beneath The Ownership Layer: valuable rights rarely sit in one registration or one agreement.
She is also a professional speaker, workshop facilitator, panelist, CLE instructor, and former adjunct professor of business law and intellectual property.
