Internet • Domain Names • Online Disputes • Licensing & Agreements

As a small, medium or large business, establishing and protecting an online identity is often crucial to doing business in the 21st century. You may already have an established website, or may be thinking about launching one. With seven generic Top Level Domains ("TLDs") already established (i.e., .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .name and .pro) and more on the way, and with hundreds of country-specific TLDs, it is critical to have a well-planned strategy for establishing and protecting your brands online.

Domain name consulting and disputes
At Lewis & Hand, our internet lawyers and staff can help you to develop a strategy that suits your company's size and budget. By having a domain name management plan in place, we can help you to prevent cybersquatters from registering your brands online in key TLDs. We can also recommend strategies that will help you to drive more traffic to your websites, while protecting your trademarks online. In the event that you find yourself the victim of a cybersquatter, we are experienced at resolving these types of disputes.

Similarly, we represent individuals and businesses against overreaching claims from trademark holders asserting monopolistic rights to descriptive, dictionary words. 

Online disputes
Within our internet law section, our attorneys and staff are fully experienced and qualified to handle domain name negotiations, file UDRP proceedings and litigate these disputes in court, when necessary. We have also had good success at shutting down copyright infringers, identity thieves (so-called "phishers") and trademark infringers who operate websites that feed off of generating consumer confusion.  

Licensing and agreements

Finally, we can help you draft or review terms and conditions for your websites, as well as assist you with content and technology licensing agreements, outsourcing agreements, co-branding agreements, marketing agreements, Internet agreements and various other forms of agreements.
