Domain name disputes.

Our attorneys are particularly experienced in dealing with the unique laws affecting copyright and trademark infringements on the Internet. Such experience includes:

• Counseling clients regarding, and handling disputes involving, secondary liability of Internet intermediaries under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act; and
• Preparing and responding to takedown notices issued pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Deceptive advertising claims by competitors.

With respect to false or deceptive advertising by a competitor, Ioppolo Law Group makes and defends challenges before the National Advertising Division and the National Advertising Review Board, as well as engages in private litigation to address false or deceptive advertising under the Lanham Act. If a competitor engages in false and deceptive advertising, remedies may be available under federal law, including injunctive relief, disgorgement of profits, and monetary damages to fund corrective marketing.
