Meister Seelig & Schuster is pleased to announce that Partner and Chair of the firm’s Intellectual Property Group, Jed Ferdinand, has been engaged by Wolters Kluwer to assume authorship of several leading intellectual property titles featured within VitalLaw Expert AI, its advanced legal research platform.

A nationally recognized authority on intellectual property licensing, commercialization, and litigation, Jed brings extensive experience advising clients on complex transactions and disputes across industries.

In this role, Jed will oversee a suite of prominent treatises and journals, including Licensing Royalty Rates, Licensing Update, License Agreements: Forms and Checklists, Trademark & Copyright Disputes, Drafting Internet Agreements, IP Litigator, and The Licensing Journal, all of which are available through VitalLaw Expert AI.

“I am so honored to assume the authorship of such an important set of books and journals in the field of intellectual property. I am grateful to Greg Battersby for originally creating each of these publications. I will continue the legacy of Greg’s works and hope to improve upon them by adding new content that reflects the exciting and fast-moving state of the field of intellectual property. I also hope to give publications like The Licensing Journal an additional business and industry focus, and will look to interview leading executives and thought leaders from the business, legal and academic communities on important topics for the licensing industry,” said Jed Ferdinand.

This appointment reflects Jed’s depth of knowledge and leadership within the intellectual property space, as well as his continued contributions to shaping thought leadership and practical guidance for legal and business professionals navigating complex IP matters.
