Tyler Marandola litigates complex intellectual property, technology, and commercial disputes in a wide-range of industries and technical areas. His representations include some of the world’s largest technology companies, as well as key players in the gaming, life sciences, hospitality, and entertainment industries. Tyler is committed to tireless and creative advocacy designed to achieve his clients’ business goals—whether inside or outside of the courtroom. Recently, he was part of a team that obtained—and defended on appeal—a complete summary judgment victory for a hospitality industry client accused of violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Eleventh Circuit’s precedential opinion vindicated the client’s position against a plaintiff who claimed damages of hundreds of millions of dollars.

In addition to litigation and dispute resolution work, Tyler advises companies on strategies for obtaining, exploiting, and ultimately defending the intellectual property they need to succeed in their businesses. Both start-ups and established companies rely on Tyler’s advice to make legally and economically sound decisions about what to protect and how. That advice is always informed by Tyler’s broad-based industry experience and his deep understanding of intellectual property litigation. Tyler is also active in the leadership of The Copyright Society, and speaks and writes about a variety of intellectual property issues.

Tyler also maintains an active pro bono practice across a number of areas, with a particular focus on immigration work for asylum seekers. In 2020, Tyler was named an “Unsung Hero” by Pennsylvania’s Legal Intelligencer for his work in obtaining asylum for transgender migrants detained at the Texas border.

Prior to entering private practice, Tyler served as a law clerk to the Honorable Mitchell S. Goldberg of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania from 2013-2014, and as a law clerk to the Honorable Victor Ashrafi of the Superior Court of New Jersey – Appellate Division from 2012-2013.
