WASHINGTON—The National Law Journal has named Covington's Shara Aranoff to its list of "Intellectual Property Trailblazers." This list profiles the top 27 lawyers nationwide who have moved the needle in copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secrets law.

Ms. Aranoff helps clients in technology, life sciences, and manufacturing use intellectual property and international trade enforcement tools to compete in U.S. and global markets. Prior to joining the firm, she was a Commissioner and Chairman of the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), where she was a decision-maker in numerous Section 337, antidumping, countervailing duty, and safeguard investigations. Drawing on her 20 years of experience in the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government, she develops legal and public policy strategies to assist clients navigating the U.S. International Trade Commission, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Congress, and the courts.

In its feature, The National Law Journal highlights Ms. Aranoff's experience as ITC commissioner in connection with hundreds of Section 337 investigations and her prediction that Section 337 claims will continue to be popular among intellectual property owners with cross-border disputes.
