Throughout my career, I have specialized in helping organizations safeguard their brands and innovations, manage risk, and scale their IP assets in fast-moving industries like telecommunications, AI, cloud computing, automotive parts and accessories, and media and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I step away from the legal world, my focus is on my family and hobbies, including a lifelong passion for sports and collecting. I am an avid collector of sports figures, sports cards, bobbleheads, Simpsons memorabilia, and Lego. My love for sports collectibles leans heavily toward hometown teams ( Colorado Rockies, Denver Nuggets, Denver Broncos and Colorado Avalanche). Beyond my local teams, I am an avid collector of baseball cards featuring Andre Dawson, Tony Gwynn and Ken Griffey Jr. To channel this passion and connect with the broader community, I maintain\u00a0<strong>Collectors Network<\/strong>, a dedicated information site primarily directed at Starting Lineups, bobbleheads and other sports figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My Lego hobby often merges with my engineering roots, involving large and intricate custom builds, including large towers, outdoor scenes, and sports venues.  Lego provides both a creative outlet, and a chance to share this passion for building with my children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-linkedin wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/max-gratton-2336807\/\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M19.7,3H4.3C3.582,3,3,3.582,3,4.3v15.4C3,20.418,3.582,21,4.3,21h15.4c0.718,0,1.3-0.582,1.3-1.3V4.3 C21,3.582,20.418,3,19.7,3z M8.339,18.338H5.667v-8.59h2.672V18.338z M7.004,8.574c-0.857,0-1.549-0.694-1.549-1.548 c0-0.855,0.691-1.548,1.549-1.548c0.854,0,1.547,0.694,1.547,1.548C8.551,7.881,7.858,8.574,7.004,8.574z M18.339,18.338h-2.669 v-4.177c0-0.996-0.017-2.278-1.387-2.278c-1.389,0-1.601,1.086-1.601,2.206v4.249h-2.667v-8.59h2.559v1.174h0.037 c0.356-0.675,1.227-1.387,2.526-1.387c2.703,0,3.203,1.779,3.203,4.092V18.338z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me I am a Colorado native and IP Attorney with experience practicing intellectual property and technology law in the Denver area, with a foundation in electrical engineering and computer science from the Colorado School of Mines.
