Matthew G. Miller, Founding Attorney
““I love working with growing companies, because that’s where the passionate people are. Anyone who talks to me knows that I’m very passionate about what I do, and I enjoy when my clients feel the same about what they do. I’m sure I sound like a crazy person, but I actually like going to work on Monday. When everyone involved is excited about what we’re doing, it makes it easy to work hard and get the job done.””
Matt founded MG Miller back in 2016, where he spent his time advising startups, mid-size companies, and entrepreneurs, primarily with intellectual property issues. Matt helps his clients advance their business goals by working with them to create, develop, and subsequently leverage their intellectual property portfolios, with emphasis on patent law and trademark law.
Matt is one of the few true subject matter experts on the intersection of intellectual property, cannabis, and hemp, and has been active in the space since 2017. Matt has obtained many patents and trademarks on behalf of his clients in the cannabis industry, for both plant-touching and ancillary businesses. Matt is a regular speaker at cannabis industry conventions and has made MG Miller a leading firm in the industry.
In addition to his work in the cannabis industry, Matt has experience representing clients in many other technology areas, which include green energy, machine learning/artificial intelligence, and pharmaceuticals. Matt has helped clients protect inventions and brands in these industries across the globe.
Matt also has experience helping clients enforce their rights against others, as well as defending clients who are accused of infringement. Matt is a licensed attorney in New York and New Jersey and is a patent attorney with the authority to represent anyone on the planet before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
