California Intellectual Property Attorney
Dedicated IP Services and Litigation Representation
Welcome to the Lawrence G. Townsend, Intellectual Property Lawyer website. But please, since clients and friends call me Larry, you should, too.
As an intellectual property (IP) attorney, I jealously guard the creations, innovations and proprietary intangibles of my clients. By the same token, when called upon to defend my clients in suits for trademark or copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, infringement of the right of publicity or unfair competition, I do so vigorously and with the same results-oriented representation.
Contact a California intellectual property lawyer that keeps your best interests in mind.
