Who Is Your Lawyer?
Commentary on Intangible Assets, Fair Use and Parody
Robert Scott Lawrence
I am a commercial litigator and intellectual property lawyer at Callahan & Blaine in Orange County. Although my practice encompasses a wide variety of business disputes, I have a particular fondness for, and am prone to wax philosophical on, the subjects of copyright and trademark infringement in music, literature, art, and film.
