Mr. Elgison was the founder and former chair of Alston & Bird's nationally-ranked intellectual property practice. During his tenure at the firm, he served successfully as lead counsel in patent, trademark, copyright, trade dress, trade secret and false advertising litigation, as well as disputed matters involving computer software and other technology. At the appellate level he argued cases before the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeals. He also represented clients in negotiating and structuring complex transactions involving technology and intellectual property rights, including information technology agreements, web-based and software agreements, trademark, copyright and rights of publicity license agreements, joint venture and joint development agreements, media broadcast and distribution agreements, sponsorship, marketing and promotional agreements, and publishing transactions.

Mr. Elgison was listed in every edition of The Best Lawyers in America for his expertise in Intellectual Property Law since the inception of the list in 1991-1992. He was also listed in Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, for excellence in the Intellectual Property Law category, and recognized as a Georgia Super Lawyer each year since 2004.
