About
Pablo Segarra is an intellectual property attorney, writer, and speaker focused on how law determines who owns culture, who controls it, and who benefits from it.
Born and raised in New York, Pablo’s perspective comes from living inside the culture that drives markets. Visibility often arrives early, while ownership shows up much later.
His work speaks to creators, artists, athletes, and public-facing professionals whose names and output generate value before they are protected.

Professional Context
In his legal practice, Pablo supports trademark protection and brand ownership for clients across industries. In his speaking and writing, he focuses on creators and cultural work, where identity, visibility, and ownership collide.
