Cynthia Moyer and Ann Dunn Wessberg Recognized in World Trademark Review Global Leaders 2025

Fredrikson shareholders Cynthia A. Moyer and Ann Dunn Wessberg have been named in the 2025 edition of World Trademark Review (WTR) Global Leaders: Private Practice. The seventh edition of WTR Global Leaders brings together the world’s foremost law firm and corporate trademark experts, allowing the wider community to benefit from their insight, experience and perspectives.

Moyer serves as chair of Fredrikson’s Trademarks & Copyrights Group where she actively partners with clients to develop, protect and enforce their trademarks, copyrights and other rights. She has extensive experience advising clients on issues pertaining to domestic and international trademark registration and enforcement, and routinely handles all aspects of managing trademark portfolios, including clearance, use, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement. Moyer also maintains close relationships with counsel around the world, allowing her to assist clients in their global expansion strategies and protection of their intellectual property worldwide.

Helping clients build strong brands, avoid infringement and protect their brands, Wessberg has served as a trademark and copyright attorney in private practice and in-house for 30 years. As former chief trademark counsel for Target, Wessberg is uniquely familiar with business challenges in-house counsel face in terms of pressures on people, time and money. She tailors her solutions to busy executives who need to navigate risk. Wessberg has a Fortune 50-style brand plan that she can resize to any company to select, protect, defend and enforce trademarks in order to build strong brands. Her practice also includes registration and counseling on copyright matters, including termination of copyright. Although her clients are diverse, she has a strong focus in retail and consumer packaged goods.
