In General

I have extensive experience in interpreting the array of state and federal laws affecting advertising in the mainstream media channels and over the Internet. As businesses in every industry adapt to the Internet, they expand their dissemination of content, generally in some form of advertising. I counsel my client on content clearance to prevent lawsuits and help my clients license and defend their rights to their information, their trademarks, domain names, logos, and content including prose, music, photographs, videos, film, animation, and graphics.

Rights Acquisition, Licensing, and Protection

I protect my clients content by obtaining, enforcing, and protecting rights to intellectual property including copyrights, trademarks, and service marks. I am well-versed in the new anti-cybersquatting laws and requirements for clearance. I represent both licensees and licensors in transfers of rights to content.

Content Clearance

I counsel my clients on issues to prevent claims based on allegedly false, defamatory, or invasively private information. By providing pre-clearance review, I protect clients against lawsuits alleging misappropriation of copyrighted material, trademarks, trade secrets, and celebrity names and likenesses. To that end, publishers, advertisers and entertainment companies have retained me to provide pre-clearance advice on news articles, advertising copy, television commercials, films, and screen plays.

Representative industries include publishing, e-commerce, entertainment, novelty items, advertising, retail, and service enterprises.
