Intellectual Property Litigation & Strategy
Nick spent nearly 20 years as a partner at a boutique IP firm in the Chicago area, where he developed deep expertise in Schedule A litigation: multi-defendant e-commerce infringement cases targeting counterfeiters across platforms like Amazon, Temu, and AliExpress.
When he moved to a large national firm, he kept running into the same problem. The pre-filing investigation for Schedule A cases consumed enormous time and resources. Even successful cases barely broke even, especially on contingency. Associates still bill their hours whether a case is contingent or not, and the investigation phase was eating into everything.
So he built CopyCatch. It automates the pre-filing investigation: infringer sourcing, evidence collection, sales estimation, and court-ready report generation. What used to take weeks now takes a fraction of that. It makes contingency cases profitable, turning cases firms would have declined into cases worth taking.
He still practices IP law full-time. CopyCatch isn't a pivot away from law. It's a tool he built because he needed it, and now other attorneys can use it too.

CopyCatch automates the pre-filing investigation for e-commerce IP cases: infringer sourcing, evidence collection, sales estimation, and court-ready report generation. What used to consume weeks of paralegal and associate time now takes a fraction of that, transforming the economics of contingency-based IP enforcement.
Take on contingency cases that are actually profitable. CopyCatch automates pre-filing investigation so you can focus on litigation, not evidence gathering.
Enforce your IP without the upfront legal costs. Contingency-based representation becomes viable when investigation costs drop dramatically.
Whether you're an IP attorney exploring CopyCatch or a brand owner dealing with infringement, I'd welcome the conversation.
