Internet Law

Although the Internet is now familiar stomping ground for nearly everyone, the law is constantly changing with respect to intellectual property rights on the world wide web.

Trademark use in domain names, web content, metadata and particularly sponsored advertising is at the forefront of this legal battleground. Competitors jump at the chance to leverage competing marks or copy text and metadata from competing sites to achieve better search engine results, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to detect these actions. Domain name pirates are manipulating to circumvent the recent laws enacted to prevent this practice.
