Fabricio Vayra

Partner

Fabricio (Fab) Vayra is called upon by clients for big picture strategies in IP protection—to develop and protect their trademarks, copyrights, and online identities domestically and internationally. He handles trademark counseling, clearance, prosecution, portfolio management, prelitigation enforcement (and large enforcement campaigns), federal litigation support, and copyright counseling, protection, and enforcement. Fab advises on internet policy and emerging trademark and copyright issues (including AI) across technology, media, telecom, sports, automotive, food and beverage, and luxury goods. He provides end-to-end counsel on new business models and related brand launches and rebrands, digital rights, domain names, internet governance, and regulatory advocacy—including before various government agencies, constituency groups, and industry trade associations.

Before joining Morgan Lewis, Fab was a partner at another global law firm. His counseling style, advice, and work results are heavily informed by his prior experience as in-house counsel for more than a decade, including as assistant general counsel at Time Warner Inc. and counsel at America Online Inc.
