About Douglas Wm.
Douglas Wm. Massinger practices throughout state and federal boards in Florida and Pennsylvania. He is admitted to the Florida and Pennsylvania bars and is permitted to appear before several federal courts and administrative tribunals, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Those admissions enable him to pursue matters that span civil litigation and intellectual estate hearings.
Over the course of his profession he has treated matters in both state trial courts and federal district courts. He is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and holds admissions in multiple federal districts in Florida, including the Middle, Northern, and Southern Districts. That aggregate of state and federal work has shaped a tradition that moves between courtroom advocacy and administrative filings.
His bar affiliation memberships reflect that dual orientation. He has been a member of the Federal Bar Association since 2004 and keeps membership within the Marion County Bar Association. Those affiliations have stored him engaged with peers who practice in federal courts and with the local legal network in Marion County.
Massinger maintains an Ocala office and a separate primary office. From the ones places he files court filings, conducts client conferences, and pursues matters in federal courts and on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. His admission to the USPTO allows him to represent clients in patent and trademark things earlier than the agency, and his multiple district courtroom admissions allow litigation across jurisdictions in Florida and in Pennsylvania.
Clients encounter him in a variety of procedural settings: civil legal proceedings in state and federal courts, appellate things in the Third Circuit, and administrative proceedings before the Patent and Trademark Office. He balances courtroom appearances with the preparation of filings needed for administrative and appellate review. He currently advocates for clients in matters earlier than state and federal trial courts and in hearings earlier than the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
