Iva Rukelj, a member of Scarinci Hollenbeck’s New York Intellectual Property practice group, worked closely with the Museum of Illusions while it went through the process of opening its United States location. Ms. Rukelj provided legal support and advice on various IP issues, including prosecution and management of the museum’s U.S. and international trademarks. Additionally, Scarinci Hollenbeck counseled on the formation of the museum’s U.S. entity, its commencement of business in the U.S., as well as negotiated the commercial lease for the museum space atop the historic County Bank Building.

“It was a pleasure to work with the Museum of Illusions as they made their transition to the United States. Given that the museum’s roots originate in Croatia, I was especially excited to offer my services as a proud Croatian myself. I think this museum will be a phenomenal attraction and the perfect place for everyone’s inner child, offering opportunities to play with our natural curiosity. I’m glad to have been a part of this process,” stated Ms. Rukelj.
