California Domain Name Litigation Attorney

Knowledgeable San Francisco Intellectual Property Lawyer

The Internet has brought traditional intellectual property together with new and evolving cyber law. This includes both domain name ownership litigation and cybersquatting lawsuits, i.e., typically where infringers register domain names that they know are protected trademarks of others. Domain name litigation also includes disputes concerning domain names alleged to have been “stolen,” i.e., domain names acquired by fraud or that are transferred from the lawful owner without his or her authority or consent.

If you are embroiled in a dispute about the use of a domain name and need an experienced California domain name litigation lawyer, contact me, Larry Townsend, to represent you. As your attorney, I am here to zealously protect your rights in domain name litigation with results-oriented representation.

Vigorously Representing Your Rights in Domain Name Litigation

When a domain name is a trademark of another party, the trademark owner may go to federal court to seek compensation for any damages incurred by the infringement of his or her rights. According to the federal Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1051 - 1127, a trademark owner can seek the following in compensation:

• The transfer of the domain name
• An injunction
• Actual damages, defendant's profits or statutory damages
• Attorney’s fees

My San Francisco law firm is well equipped with the knowledge to handle these claims in federal court. I will work hard to either help you retain your domain name or, if it was unlawfully acquired by another, prove all the elements of infringement.

If you would like to avoid the time and resources required to pursue domain name litigation, I will fully explain to you your options for seeking online arbitration under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).
