She has taught at American University’s Washington College of Law, Howard University School of Law, George Mason School of Law and University of Maryland University College.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Lutzker & Lutzker attorneys combine extensive professional experience with personal passion to advise nonprofit clients. In addition to facing the contractual, human resources, intellectual property and other legal issues involved in conducting any business, tax-exempt organizations operate within an environment of complex IRS regulations, a multiplicity of state laws governing charitable fundraising, and increasingly scrutinized corporate governance, including IRS inquiry into traditional corporate matters. As fiscal constraints challenge nonprofits to become more entrepreneurial, these challenges multiply.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In addition to her decades of experience as a practicing lawyer, Carolyn Martin has been a law professor, founder of an intellectual property consulting firm and corporate executive focusing on intellectual property, communications, contracts, mergers and acquisitions and venture capital. She has proven results in working with corporate and nonprofit clients to develop strategies, business ventures and market-driven product introductions. Carolyn has a special interest in copyright, privacy and artificial intelligence, particularly as they affect K-12 education and creative professionals.
Business Disputes
In addition to practicing law, Tom has been an active participant in teaching and lecturing on IP law issues. He has served as an adjunct professor of law at The Howard University School of Law and at The George Mason University School of Law. He also teaches business law courses as an adjunct professor at Northern Virginia Community College. He has given numerous talks and has participated in many panel discussions before law and business groups related to various areas of intellectual property law.
Business Transactions
Lutzker & Lutzker attorneys welcome the complex challenges that result from applying traditional legal principles to the transformed – and constantly changing – business environment created by the Internet and social media. Our understanding of the exploding digital environment has put us at the forefront of addressing these unsettled issues in policy, legislative and litigation contexts as well as in everyday business transactions. The firm is prepared to use all available legal tools to combat the increasing threats and realities of cyberattacks that involve the theft of intellectual property.

Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property
Lutzker & Lutzker focuses on providing highly responsive counseling, transactional and litigation services on intellectual property issues and other matters. Our firm’s practice areas include the following...
Unfair Competition
The trademarks and service marks of a business – the words, names, symbols, designs and product configurations by which its goods and services are recognized – are among its most valuable assets. Our attorneys have decades of experience helping a wide variety of clients manage trademark selection (using strategic searching and analysis to influence marketing decisions), registration, monitoring (through our new cost-effective trademark watch system), licensing and enforcement issues in the U.S. and globally, through our relationships with foreign counsel throughout the world. This experience has been invaluable in applying traditional trademark principles to issues presented by the explosion of e-commerce and new media activities. The firm’s expertise includes the protection of trade dress, trade secrets, and non-traditional intellectual properties and resolution of disputes involving a wide variety of false advertising, infringement of publicity rights and other unfair competition claims.

Employment Contract
A. Many teachers have been required to post their original material online for easier access. While the “work made for hire” doctrine from the Copyright Act provides that employers own the copyright in works created by their employees, most universities have intellectual property policies that expressly give copyright ownership to professors. Although this is common in higher education, it is generally not the case in K-12 schools. In fact, some schools will take advantage of works made for hire by selling curricula to other school districts and students in other jurisdictions. Teachers quitting their jobs to sell their class material online or to supplement their annual salaries is nothing new. Art and music teachers may be particularly attracted to this alternative to benefit from their original creative works, which may appear to go beyond the scope of their original employment agreement. This reluctance to sharing one’s unique creative content on the Internet without compensation is especially relevant when teaching remotely is a necessity. As a result, educators should thoroughly read and understand the intellectual property policies of their individual institutions to ensure their work is both protected and treated in the way all parties intended. If not, educators who are concerned with protecting their material are advised to consult their respective institutions to negotiate more ironclad, short-term, intellectual property-focused contracts with their institutions and third-party technology providers.

Real Estate Transactions
Securing or reinstating tax-exempt status for a wide variety of nonprofit organizations, often including complex issues of financial relationships with insiders, entrepreneurial activities or participation in complex real estate transactions

Tax Law
Her early legal practice was with Lane and Edson, P.C., where she worked on novel tax issues involving the syndication of low-income housing, a skill later used at the National Trust to support the Trust’s participation in rehabilitation projects utilizing the historic preservation and low-income tax credits.
