copyrat

Well, it’s finally happened - after years of following Internet property issues from the comfort of the sidelines, today I found myself right in the middle of a juicy Internet IP issue of my own.

Turns out some guy has…ahem…infringed…on intellectual property contained in my employer’s website. “Infringed” is perhaps too genteel a term: this was a real beaut — design, images, copy, claims on trademarked terms and proprietary business method — all completely stolen…and displayed with a shocking (and sort of enviable) lack of shame.

So anyway, I think there’s an interesting opportunity here. Having watched a number of matters of this nature, I have a pretty good idea of what I need to do to get this resolved. I am, however, in a position where I have access to the services of another attorney, and I’d really like to see how this works from the perspective of the standard website owner — so here’s what I’m gonna do: I’m gonna do a little research of my own here…then I’m gonna get on the line with our IP lawyer and see how the process works…This oughta be interesting…
