Crown®, LLP Principals Named to Daily Journal’s “Top IP” List

Crown®, LLP congratulates Principals and Founding Partners Owen Seitel and Elizabeth J. Rest on being named Top Intellectual Property Lawyers for 2025 by the Daily Journal, California’s largest legal newspaper. The annual ranking recognizes 100 top-performing intellectual property attorneys in California working in trademark, copyright, and patent.

“Since law school, my only focus has been intellectual property law.  So, to be named one of the top attorneys in our field is an honor and an incredible accomplishment,” said Elizabeth. “I am delighted that our clients trust us to be long-term partners in their success. We are proud to deliver sophisticated, tailored services that not only meet their immediate goals but also set them up for future opportunities and healthy growth.”

A significant and unique aspect of Elizabeth’s practice involves foreign work, an area in which few U.S. trademark attorneys are well-versed. Many of Elizabeth’s clients have trademarks in 50 or more countries worldwide, making her stand out as a highly coveted resource for delivering trademark and copyright strategies to help clients select, protect, and enforce their intellectual property and guide healthy growth both domestically and internationally. In naming Elizabeth a Top IP Lawyer, the Daily Journal noted her ability to create worldwide intellectual property strategies and proactively advise clients on ways to enhance their value through co-branding, licensing, and other beneficial arrangements.

“Crown’s tagline is ‘Advising Creativity’ for a reason,” said Owen. “We have a passion for the arts and entertainment, and we appreciate the opportunity to help creative entrepreneurs find success – our success is measured by theirs.”

With an IP practice that spans more than 30 years, Owen has distinguished himself by providing nimble, bespoke, and effective legal services addressing the specific needs of creators, producers, distributors, and businesses of all types for whom creation, acquisition, protection, and exploitation of intellectual property assets is crucial to their business efforts.  Owen works with a diverse roster of clients, many of whom are involved in sports and fitness, media, entertainment, technology, and the arts.  In Owen’s selection, the Daily Journal recognized his skill in identifying, protecting, and leveraging creative works and personality rights, as well as his work with businesses of all types in need of securing creative materials.
