Ervin Cohen & Jessup Partners Honored as Leading Global IP Lawyers

Ervin Cohen & Jessup LLP has recently gained significant recognition in the legal world as two of its partners, Rusty Selmont and Kelly Cunningham, have been named in Lawdragon's inaugural class of "500 Leading Global IP Lawyers." This esteemed acknowledgment reflects their outstanding contributions to the intellectual property (IP) field, known for its robust expertise across leading law firms, including specialty boutiques.

A Closer Look at Rusty Selmont

Rusty Selmont's extensive legal practice encompasses diverse areas, with a particular focus on intellectual property, real estate, and complex commercial litigation. His clients span various key industries, including healthcare, technology, virtual reality, and entertainment. Rusty has notably emphasized IP litigation and licensing while representing healthcare providers and facilities throughout California in high-stakes business matters.

His accomplishments have not gone unnoticed; he was honored as a 2024 Southern California Super Lawyer and recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal as a "Leader Thriving in Their 40s." Rusty's multidimensional approach aids clients in navigating the challenging landscape of intellectual property rights and litigation.

Kelly Cunningham: Leadership in Intellectual Property

On the other hand, Kelly Cunningham leads the Intellectual Property Department at the firm. With over 25 years of experience, he excels in trademark, copyright, and patent litigation. His impressive track record includes representing clients in numerous courts across the United States. Among his significant victories was a notable case where he successfully defended four of his client's patents against a challenge from a German competitor, not only upholding existing claims but also securing additional ones.

Moreover, during a major legal challenge, Kelly effectively decreased a prominent record label's copyright infringement claim by more than 80%, facilitating major support from the client's insurer covering the settlement costs. His exemplary achievements garnered recognition from both the San Francisco and Los Angeles Daily Journals, naming him one of California's Top 100 Intellectual Property Attorneys earlier this year.
