About Daniel
Daniel Ballard built a legal profile defined by courtroom appearances and federal filings. After completing his legal education, he began practicing in areas where federal law and technical rules intersect. He has pursued work that requires admission across a number of national tribunals.
Early in his career Ballard obtained admissions that reflect the breadth of his practice. He is admitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and practices before that agency. He also holds admission to the Federal Circuit and the Ninth Circuit, enabling him to handle appeals in both patent and other federal matters. His credentials extend to the U.S. Court of International Trade and the U.S. Supreme Court, indicating comfort with high-level appellate procedure as well as trade-related disputes.
Ballard’s court roster suggests steady involvement in intellectual property and federal litigation. Appearances before the Patent and Trademark Office and the Federal Circuit point to work on patent prosecution and related appeals. Admission to the Court of International Trade signals experience with trade remedies, tariffs, and customs-related litigation. He practices in federal appellate courts as well, including the Ninth Circuit, and is admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court for matters that reach the nation’s highest tribunal.
His method is straightforward. He prepares filings for administrative agencies and courts, argues complex legal questions, and handles the procedural demands of appellate practice. He is comfortable drafting briefs, preparing petitions, and managing the technical record that accompanies patent and trade cases. Colleagues and clients see him in settings that require both legal precision and an understanding of technical or trade-specific issues.
Ballard operates from a solo office environment. He maintains his practice at the Law Office of Daniel N Ballard, Esq., where he represents clients in matters falling under the jurisdictions to which he is admitted. The office handles filings and appearances before the USPTO, federal appellate courts, the Court of International Trade, and other tribunals. He continues to accept matters that involve intellectual property, federal appeals, and trade litigation.
He currently focuses his practice on patent and trademark matters before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, federal appellate work, and trade and customs litigation handled at the Court of International Trade and related federal venues.
