Web & E-commerce
Web sites are ubiquitous, run the gamut from online storefronts to social networks and data mining operations. The web's legal landscape is a patchwork of overlapping rules on privacy, copyright and other rules. Our job is to understand their businesses in great detail so we can help them build their businesses while avoiding the pitfalls. Sample engagements include: working with brick-and-mortar businesses on simple, effective terms of service for their web sites; helping companies determine privacy obligations to users and visitors under various state and federal laws; negotiating and documenting sophisticated API licenses with major online communities; and assessing the patentability of software inventions.
