Internet & Technology
Trade Secret Misappropriation: Trade secret misappropriation is usually a product of either a breach of contract (employment or non-disclosure agreement) or unauthorized access (hacking). Programmers steal code, web designers steal art work, salesmen steal customer lists, and competitors steal business transaction data. We have extensive experience in handling trade secret misappropriation cases and have the technology skills to deal with these issues in what has become a technological world.
Website Audits/Agreements: We draft agreements for website hosting services, website design and development services, website notices, copyright notices and terms and conditions for website access. We also work with issues related to privacy, third-party trademarks, copyright, defamation, indecency issues relating to Blog or website postings, online chats, forums and social networks, and terms of use review.
Trademark and Copyright Issues: Trademark issues range from basics of website logos to considerations arising uniquely from domain name registration. We actively work with our clients to make certain that they have the appropriate trademarks and copyrights in place to protect their intellectual property rights.
Electronic discovery: Electronic discovery (or E-discovery) refers to any process in which electronic data is sought, located, secured, and searched with the intent of using it as evidence in a civil or criminal legal case. E-discovery gives rise to a variety of legal, constitutional, political, security, and personal privacy issues. We have the technical ability to handle any of your E-discovery questions.
