Biography

Terry M. Sanks, a registered patent attorney, is a founding member of Beusse Sanks, PLLC. Known for delivering strategic and wholistic intellectual property (“IP”) solutions, Terry leverages his deep knowledge across all areas of IP law, including patents, trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, trade secrets, IP litigation, licensing, and IP related transactions. He uses these skills representing clients ranging from start up companies to Fortune 500 conglomerates.

Terry’s accomplishments have been recognized by multiple non-paid, non-solicitation organizations, both nationally and internationally. His unparalleled accolades include recognition in Best Lawyers (where he has been named “Lawyer of the Year” multiple times including Patent Attorney of the Year for 2022 and 2024, Trademark Attorney of the Year for 2023 and 2025 and Copyright Attorney of the Year for 2019 and 2024), Chambers and Partners, Super Lawyers, World Trademark Review 1000, IP Stars, Florida Legal Elite, Martindale-Hubbell (Preeminent rating), and Avvo (Superb rating).

To further enhance his legal services, Terry stays current with technology advances and their interaction with IP. Terry is quickly gaining recognition as a thought leader in the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property. He has spoken at numerous conferences on the topic and is contributing a chapter titled "Intersection of Generative Artificial Intelligence with Intellectual Property Rights" to a book titled "Leveraging AI for Business Innovation".

Prior to law school (and during an early part of his law career but as a reservist), Terry proudly served as an officer in the United States Air Force where he lead a team developing an experimental electric propulsion system that was eventually tested in outer space, later supporting the warfighting mission of combat fighter pilots in both the Air Force and Navy, and finally, as a reservist, developing armament utilized during conflicts in the Middle East.
