A native New Yorker and former U.S. Marine, Professor Greene completed a judicial clerkship with Justice James H. Brickley of the Michigan Supreme Court following graduation from Yale. He then practiced in the areas of general corporate, intellectual property and entertainment law in New York at Cravath, Swaine & Moore and at Frankfurt, Garbus, Klein & Selz, where he represented clients such as Time-Warner/HBO, film director Spike Lee, and the rap group Public Enemy. Professor Greene has published articles in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Rutgers Law Journal and Hastings Communication and Entertainment Law Journal examining the film and music industries and intellectual property law. He has been a featured speaker on motion picture, music and intellectual property issues for the Practicing Law Institute’s seminar titled “Counseling Clients in the Entertainment Industry,” the Black Entertainment and Sports Lawyers Association, and the ABA’s Section on Intellectual Property Law. Professor Greene recently was selected by peers in the San Diego Intellectual Property (IP) Bar as one of the Top Ten Intellectual Property Attorneys in San Diego, and has developed a national reputation as an IP scholar.
