Posted on by One comment

I’m happy to announce that the chapter that I co-authored with Mike Tomasulo, who practices intellectual property law in our firm‘s Los Angeles office, was published in “Understanding Developments in Cyberspace Law, 2012 ed.: Leading Lawyers on Analyzing Recent Trends, Case Laws, and Legal Strategies Affecting the Internet Landscape (Inside the Minds) New Edition.”

This Aspatore legal title provides an authoritative, insider’s perspective on recent cases and legislation that are influencing the Internet. Written by partners from some of the nation’s leading law firms, this book examines current issues such as privacy, intellectual property, and data security.

In addition, these top lawyers discuss e-discovery issues and the best methods for helping clients protect themselves in a rapidly growing electronic environment.

Here is an excerpt from the introduction to our chapter:

Due to the increasing implementation of connected computer systems, courts and legislators around the world are creating Internet law, also known as cyber law, on a daily basis. . . .  Among many issues in cyber law, property rights are one of the most conceptually challenging issues that attorneys must assist their clients with. . . .
