TESTIMONIALS

It was my pleasure and privilege to serve as Melodee Currier’s supervisor for almost six years at Wendy’s International, Inc. I found her indispensable in the administration and management of Wendy’s intellectual property portfolio. During her tenure at Wendy’s, Mel formulated and implemented enhanced trademark registration, renewal and record-keeping systems; she developed and managed a comprehensive trademark infringement monitoring program; and she single-handedly was responsible for development, coordination and oversight of an enterprise-wide domain name registration and management program. Mel’s intelligence, thoroughness, innovative approach, and a can do attitude are exceptional. I recommend her to anyone requiring assistance in the organization, administration and management of intellectual property.
