Lawyer Handling Internet Disputes
Internet disputes are basically intellectually property disputes; either trademark, copyright, trade secret or patent infringement matters.
Cybersquatting
Cybersquatting is acquiring domain names that are crucial to a company that holds related intellectual property. A company with valuable tradenames, trademarks and goodwill needs to use variations that the market will mistakenly use, or otherwise confuse with the registered marks. A "squatter" buys these alterations hoping to benefit unfairly, either by directing traffic to its own site, or selling them at extreme profit, to the target company. Such "pirates" unfairly restrict the original holder of intellectual property's room to grow application and use of that mark.
If your company's zone of natural expansion has been encroached on in this way we can help you sue to enjoin the squatter's use, or acquire the rights yourself. Alternatively, if rights you have purchased are being challenged, we can defend you.
Metatags
Metatags, also known as "ad words" can be purchased from Internet search engines. These tags are attached to a Web site and help the search engine direct relevant traffic to commercial and non-commercial sites. These are also acquired with the purpose of gaining unfair profit. If terms suspiciously similar to your company's metatags are acquired by an unrelated party, they may be attempting to take unfair advantage. Trademark law prohibits this and we can help you pursue a trademark infringement action.
