Firm Overview
California Intellectual Property Lawyer
My goal is to help my clients meet their IP needs. What I find most enjoyable about my practice is the ability to work one on one with clients while collaborating to reach creative, practical solutions to their IP issues.. Some of those IP areas are listed below. Contact me, California copyright and trademark lawyer Larry Townsend today to discuss how I can help you in the following areas.
- Trademark
- Copyright
- Trade secrets
- Expert witness
- Unfair competition
- Visual arts
- Right of Publicity
- Publishing law
Best of Both Worlds
- Likewise, my of counsel relationship with a larger IP firm affords clients greater resources and staffing flexibility. I offer the personalized and thorough representation of a small firm and, when needed, have available to me additional legal expertise, as well as paralegal and attorney support.
Competitive Fees
- I am keenly sensitive to the fact that clients are real people with real budgets. My fees, therefore, are fair and competitive. Contingent fees are available for select copyright and trade secret claims.
Author and Speaker
- Various legal articles, and Secrets of the Wholly Grill (Carroll & Graf, New York 2002), a satiric novel about the software industry. Kirkus Reviews: "The perfect gift for everyone who has ever cursed Windows." Oakland Tribune: "Impressive debut novel... easily mixes styles and genres to create a courtroom thriller that comically tackles modern issues such as intellectual property rights and business ethics."
- Speaker on various aspects of IP law, writing, publishing, and humor.
Of Counsel Relationship
- Long-established working relationship with the venerable IP firm, Owen, Wickersham & Erickson, P.C. making additional staffing and resources available for your matter, but only if you request it. (NOTE: Representation by the Owen firm requires separate representation agreement)
