Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) April 13, 2010 -- Kinsella, Weitzman, Iser, Kump & Aldisert, a high profile litigation firm specializing in the areas of entertainment, intellectual property, commercial disputes, and criminal law, today announced that Managing Partner, Lawrence Iser, has been recognized by California’s largest legal news provider, Daily Journal, as one of California’s 75 Top Intellectual Property Litigators for 2010, for his innovative work on intellectual property cases for clients including Jackson Browne, the Leonore S. Gershwin 1987 Trust, eBay Inc., Roland Corporation and Mattel, Inc.
In the area of intellectual property, Mr. Iser has undertaken transactional and litigation matters concerning patents, copyrights and trademarks, trade secrets, unfair competition, the right of publicity, defamation and contract matters involving the licensing of intellectual property rights.

Hammer Bankruptcy Estate, The Wiggles, Spectrasonics, Fat Possum Records, Univision Music, and International Creative Management. For over fifteen years, he has served as United States IP litigation counsel for Roland Corporation, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of electronic musical instruments.
Mr. Iser recently obtained a settlement on behalf of music legend Jackson Browne in a copyright and trademark infringement lawsuit against former Republican candidate for President, John McCain, the Republican National Committee, and the Ohio Republican Party. After prevailing against defendants' motions to dismiss the case on fair use and First Amendment grounds, the settlement included Defendants' public apology and pledge to respect artists' right and to obtain licenses for the use of copyrighted works in the future.
Iser currently represents the Leonore S. Gershwin 1987 Trust in litigation pending in the Southern District of New York against music publisher Warner/Chappell involving the administration of the copyright interests of famed lyricist Ira Gershwin outside the United States. Mr. Iser also is lead counsel in the defense of Roland DGA Corporation, a leading distributor of wide format printers, in a patent infringement case pending in the District of Connecticut, represents Mattel, Inc. in trademark opposition proceedings, and represents Zobmondo!! LLC in a trademark infringement action over the use of the mark WOULD YOU RATHER.
