Testimonials:

“Elizabeth and Owen have been great partners for SKINN ever since we were referred to them a couple years ago. Trying to keep tabs on all the necessary filings, actions, oppositions, etc., in order to maintain the integrity of our intellectual property would be a full time job for someone on our end. However, working with Crown has made the process much more manageable as they guide us through all the necessary steps, putting them into layman’s terms along the way. They know the status of each and every mark, in each and every jurisdiction, at all times. The level of organization is not one we’d had in the past and has made utilization an easy chore for our team.”

Joseph Peri, Cheif Operating Officer, SKINN

“Elizabeth and Owen have been invaluable to us as we’ve dealt with an explosion of Trademark and IP infringements over the last several years. Their approach has always been personal, yet professional, and I appreciate the fact that we’re treated like partners as opposed to just clients. They welcome the insights we have about our own brand, applying their expertise along with the proprietary knowledge we provide. I can’t emphasize how important that is to a niche brand such as Thrasher Magazine.”

Tony Vitello, President and Publisher, High Speed Productions, Inc., dba Thrasher Magazine

“We have worked with Elizabeth, Owen, and Crown for several years and the things that stand out for me about their practice is that I always appreciate their quick response, detailed follow-up, and any special requests that we have they always work with us to go above and beyond and exceed our expectations.“

Todd B. Rubin, Minister of Evolution, The Republic of Tea

“Mary Shapiro has been at the forefront of cannabis trademarking ever since the beginning. Navigating the intricacies of state and federal cannabis IP protection is not easy and requires a focus that few firms can offer. We choose Mary, Nicole, and the Crown team for the depth of knowledge they bring to the table and for the creative solutions to trademarking they make possible.”

Scott Palmer, Principal Kiva Confections

“I have worked with Elizabeth, Owen, and Crown for over a decade and when we established Burley Law, they were the obvious choice for looking after our clients’ interests in the USA.  It has been a delight to work with them.  The great thing is that they fit perfectly with our own ways of working: they are personable, expert, and always straightforward.  Even when the law is very complex, we get a clear answer – and despite being based in the UK, we have always had very responsive and attentive service.  This makes it so much easier for us to support our clients when they are looking to operate in the USA.  It is clear that they have built a very strong rapport with their clients which has led to a very loyal following of long-standing clients – and we are pleased to be one of them!”

Des Burley, Founder and Director, Burley Law

” I have sided with Elizabeth for over 6 years in a hard-fought war against “legal fake” operations – one of the many “clever” ideas counterfeiters have recently come up with to flood the market with knockoffs, trying and getting away with it – in Italy. And I must say that I’ve hardly had such a great connection with a foreign counsel: she is really brilliant and easily understands also things that work differently from the US, being always able to provide very valuable advice. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity of getting to know her partner Owen, and the two of them together are an IP-force: I’d strongly recommend Crown for any IP matter in the USA, as well as for setting forth an effective brand protection strategy on a global scale.”

“Elizabeth and Owen, they’ve got it goin’,

And treat us like we’re Kings.
More importantly, they know IP,
And entertainment things.

Years ago, when times were slow,
We “poked the bear” you see,
But Elizabeth the Great, did not hesitate,
And Owen joined with She.

Together bound, they then unwound,
The complexities of marks.
They fought for us, they earned our trust,
And silenced [Name Withheld due to Confidentiality Agreement]’s barks!

And now we stand, astride the land,
We’re Financial Avengers®
We own that name and the content game,
Is ours for eternity.1

But this odd ballad, pale and pallid,
Cannot explain to thee,
The honest crutch and human touch,
That Crown®, LLP is to we.

They are our friends, until the end,
We rely on them constantly.
So don’t be stupid – it’s undisputed –
Hire them instantly.”

The Captain, The Oracle, Financial Avengers Inc.

“I work with dozens and dozens of trademark attorneys around the world and I rank Elizabeth among the best. She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I consider her an integral part of Sunsweet Growers’ global brand protection efforts and she has my highest recommendation.”

Mark R. Leonard, General Counsel at Sunsweet Growers Inc.

“Owen has provided me valuable counsel and representation in my endeavors in the film industry for decades. In my work as a screenwriter, Owen has assisted with the negotiation and documentation of option and sale agreements as well as counsel concerning guild issues and co-writing scenarios. As a producer and director Owen has assisted throughout the development and production process, from contracting with personnel and vendors through distribution. I highly recommend Owen, Elizabeth and Crown to anyone involved in the creative industries.”
