About John
John Bernardson is a Florida trademark attorney and intellectual property lawyer at Give Me Color, where he focuses on Intellectual Property and Immigration Law. Based in Lake Worth Beach, John brings a sharp analytical mind and a detail-oriented approach to helping clients protect their creative assets and navigate the complexities of the U.S. immigration system.
As an intellectual property lawyer serving Palm Beach County, John is passionate about helping entrepreneurs, creators, and innovators safeguard the ideas and brands they've worked hard to build. He also brings that same level of dedication to immigration clients, understanding that each case represents a person's future and livelihood.
Intellectual Property Practice
John handles the full spectrum of IP matters at the firm, providing trademark registration help, patent applications (utility and design), copyright protection, and trade secret safeguarding through NDAs and legal agreements. Businesses throughout Florida trust him for his thorough approach to intellectual property protection. When a client's IP is infringed, John takes swift action — from cease-and-desist letters to litigation — to enforce their rights and pursue damages. He also drafts and negotiates IP licensing contracts that allow clients to monetize their assets while maintaining control.
Immigration Practice
On the immigration side, John assists clients with visa applications (H-1B, L-1, O-1, family-based), employment-based immigration, green card petitions, naturalization, and DACA/TPS renewals. He works closely with Giselly Acosta on complex immigration matters including deportation defense and asylum cases, providing additional capacity and expertise to the firm's growing caseload.
