Herrick bolsters its IP and technology practice with the addition of Milton Springut and Caroline Boehm

NEW YORK – February 6, 2025 – Herrick announced today that Milton Springut, an intellectual property practitioner widely regarded for his work on disputes involving computers and electrical systems as well as luxury fashion brands, has joined the firm as partner from Moses & Singer LLP. Springut’s longtime colleague Caroline Boehm, a trademark and copyright lawyer, has also joined Herrick as counsel.

“Herrick continues to expand the breadth and depth of capabilities in our IP practice,” said Belinda Schwartz, the executive chair of Herrick. “With Milton and Caroline joining our firm, we’ve enhanced our ability to serve clients in this vital area of our practice.”

In his nearly 30 years of practice, Springut has litigated many patent, trade secret, and other IP disputes, drawing on his background developing computer hardware and software systems for Bell Telephone Laboratories. His clients range from startups to Fortune 500 companies on matters involving technologies such as computer processors, mobile payments, e-commerce, telephony, video systems, and medical devices.

Springut is also known as one of the nation’s leading litigators of trademark, counterfeiting, and “gray goods” cases for luxury brands and fashion houses. His results in this area include securing the first award of statutory damages for counterfeit goods under the Anti-Counterfeiting Act of 1996.

“Milton makes a high-quality addition to our considerable bench of litigation talent,” said Carol Goodman, co-chair of the firm’s Litigation Department. “His experience in patent, trade secret, trademark, and other IP disputes will be extremely valuable to our clients.”

Boehm brings deep experience in trademark and copyright matters, the focus of her work. Practicing frequently in front of the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, Boehm regularly advises clients on trademark searching and clearance, registration, maintenance, and general strategy. Before Boehm worked together with Springut at Moses & Singer, they practiced alongside each other at Springut Law P.C.

“We are thrilled to join such a dynamic team at Herrick,” said Springut. “We were attracted to the firm’s collaborative culture and existing reputation in the IP space. This is a great platform to expand our IP work for clients together.”
