Internet Law

To succeed in business today, you need an Internet presence. But with opportunity comes with an ever-changing, increasingly complex technological and legal landscape. Saunders & Silverstein has the understanding and ability necessary to be an asset to its technology clients. We’re well versed in technology law and Internet issues, and counsel clients in a wide range of Internet law matters, including:

• Domain name disputes and UDRP proceedings
• Domain purchases and leases
• Terms of service and privacy policies
• User generated content

Domain Name Disputes

Your domain name and its corresponding website are perhaps the most visible means by which consumers will learn about your products or services. Given the popularity and accessibility of the Internet, cyber-squatters and other domain name profiteers are likely to target you by registering confusingly similar domain names, creating copycat websites, or employing a variety of other tactics designed to confuse or divert your customers away from your website. The attorneys at Saunders & Silverstein have successfully resolved many domain name disputes on behalf of clients.

Infringement Online

We pride ourselves on staying current with rapidly changing Internet law, proactively working with our clients to anticipate and avoid problems, and efficiently resolving disputes when they do arise. In those instances when someone does infringe on your intellectual property rights via the Internet, we are prepared to meet them head on. Our attorneys will enforce your copyright and trademark rights through direct communication with the infringer, DMCA takedown procedures, or Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) proceedings.

Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, and Other E-commerce Agreements

Boilerplate terms of service or privacy policies can often leave your business vulnerable. If you’re doing business over the Internet, Saunders & Silverstein will work closely with you to craft terms of service agreements, privacy policies, and copyright policies that are specifically tailored to meet and protect the needs of your business.

Social Networking & User Generated Content

Social networking applications and user generated content have become vital and vibrant elements of the world of online business communication. But as always, charting new territory brings new legal issues. Saunders & Silverstein prides itself on our knowledge and understanding of the latest social networking technologies and the implications they can have for your business operations.
