Department Overview:

At Crown®, LLP, we are brand builders and portfolio protectors. We offer tailored services, including trademark, copyright, licensing, business formation and maintenance, intellectual property enforcement, right of publicity, contract negotiation, and much more. We help everyone from large corporations to individual artists. 

Crown’s clients work in all kinds of industries, from tea to t-shirts, beer to Broadway, and all the creative in between. We focus on our clients’ intellectual property so they can focus on their work. We believe you are a creative entrepreneur if you are an author, architect, software developer, clothing company, or even a multi-brand international corporation. Creativity is found in all industries and is the backbone of all brands, so if your work involves creating, securing, or distributing intellectual property, or if you are any type of business seeking to secure and use content created by others, Crown can assist. From a yoga studio creating audio-visual classes and moving online, an apparel brand expanding into new markets, a sports gear company seeking to tout the endorsement of a high-profile athlete, or a food or beverage company seeking to expand your brand – Crown can assist.
