KnoWLEDGEABLE ADVICE on DOMAINS, WEBSITES, BRANDING AND ECOMMERCE

 We provide counsel on the use of domain names and the process of branding that includes a company’s trademarks, domains and Website content.   We have experience with the relationship of trademark law and domain name law, and how those areas affect a company's branding efforts.

In today's hardball business environment, businesses launching a new brand or website are faced with several threats.   Competitors will snatch up domains.  Unscrupulous persons (and their attorneys) will file bad faith trademark applications to prevent a legitimate registration.   Business owners need counsel on how to avoid these pitfalls.

Our clients are guided in the timing of their domain registrations, trademark registrations, and website launches.   They enjoy the maximum of legal protection for their brand and the minimum of exposure to the loss of domains or harrassment from bad faith trademark filings. 

Our clients also enjoy our experience in the areas of eCommerce and its intersection with unfair competition law.  Eric D. Morton successfully defended an eCommerce company in a legal action that resulted in a published appelate court decision that helped define eCommerce and unfair competition law law in California.  Schulz vs. Neovi Data Corporation, et al.(2007) 154 Cal.App.4th 86, 60 Cal.Rptr.3d 810 (click on citation to review opinion of the court). 

Our offices are in Oceanside, California.  We serve clients throughout San Diego County, California and the United States.
