Technology & Internet Law – Cutting-Edge Practitioners

Keeping pace with technology is no longer enough. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience to understand the technologies used by the most innovative companies, as well as the legal issues they face. This allows us to immediately hit the ground running, saving our clients both time and money.

Internet Law

Every successful business needs a strong online identity. Our firm dedicates an entire intellectual property (IP) practice area to the intersection of domain names and our clients’ IP rights. 

We help major brand owners select, procure, protect, and recover domain names. We also take aggressive action against cybersquatters that seek to unfairly capitalize on their success. Our domain name legal services include: 

  • Recording companies’ trademark portfolios with the Trademark Clearinghouse
  • Developing and implementing sunrise registration strategies
  • Registering domain names, including advice regarding defensive registrations
  • Policing and monitoring of gTLDs for infringing uses of trademarks
  • Bringing actions to quickly secure trademark holders’ rights when a registration violates a client’s rights under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy
  • Recording assignments, mergers, name changes, and security interests
  • Bringing civil actions under Anti-Cybersquatting Piracy Act (ACPA)
  • Keyword and sponsored link advertising on search engines
  • Negotiating domain name transfer agreements and releases

Areas of Service

Patents

We assist clients in securing and managing patent rights for their inventions and designs both domestically and internationally, in collaboration with law firm associates. We provide clients with patent availability searches and “freedom to operate” reports. We also file and fully prosecute non-provisional and provisional patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We also identify opportunities for our clients to add to their intellectual property portfolio through active participation in their creative processes, and assist clients in addressing third-party patent issues that may pose obstacles to commercialization activities, through clearance studies and associated counseling and opinion work.

Trademarks & Domain Names

Our attorneys clear trademarks domestically and abroad, registering those marks, maintaining them, and advising clients on their continued protection. We assist in policing trademarks and market identities and prosecute infringements and counterfeits. Our trademark litigators have protected or defended cases involving major brands, and have successfully resolved disputes through alternative dispute resolution methods. Our attorneys have litigated a substantial number of cases before the Trademark Trial & Appeal Board. We also have extensive experience in litigation cases under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act and handling of domain name arbitrations under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy.

Copyrights

New technology continues to stretch the limits of traditional copyright law. Our lawyers protect new forms of copyrightable subject matter including software and database work.

Trade Secrets

Advances in computer networking technology and tools, information sharing and increased employee mobility have combined to increase the risk of information theft. Our attorneys actively prosecute trade secrets theft, defend against claims of misappropriation, and protect our clients through offensive and defensive strategies that maximize intellectual capital and minimize leaks of valuable information.

Information Technology

Our technology lawyers counsel clients in establishing business on the Internet and litigate Internet-related piracy, infringement and misappropriation claims. Our lawyers are well-versed in the many of the technologies utilized by our clients, allowing immediate collaboration without costly and time-consuming basic education.

Technology Liability Coverage Disputes

The firm’s attorneys represent clients in their disputes with property and casualty companies over high-stakes claims relating to all the following types of coverage:

  • Commercial General Liability Policies
  • Intellectual property specific policies
  • Business interruption
  • Directors and Officers/Corporate governance
  • Employment

Our success in insurance coverage disputes is based both upon our attorneys’ negotiation skills and our commitment to trying cases vigorously and successfully. At the same time, our attorneys maintain cooperative relationships with insurance brokers, facilitating appropriate settlements and preserving long-term relationships. Our lawyers also advise on potential liability exposure and help evaluate the adequacy of insurance before coverage issues arise.

The Technology Law Group Handles Insurance Coverage Matters On Issues Including:

  • Advertising Injury
  • Copyright Infringement
  • Trademark Infringement
  • Patent Infringement
  • Trade Dress (Packaging) Infringement
  • Misappropriation of Trade Secrets and Confidential Information

Emerging Technologies

As emerging technologies such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, 3-D Printing, and Robotics expand into common business practice, they will disrupt not only the current economic environment but also the current legal environment. The laws and regulations of the past do not anticipate the arrival of these transformative technologies. Our attorneys have the capability to take a comprehensive look at the businesses advancing these technologies, how they function in the market, and to provide guidance on legal strictures in that market. Having a working knowledge of these new technologies gives us the ability to understand how they work in both business and in the law.
