Bay Area Intellectual Property Lawyers

Please complete our intellectual property case evaluation form.

The San Jose domain name dispute lawyers at Schneck & Schneck strive to provide aggressive protection of your domain name rights at a reasonable cost in the U.S. and worldwide. For instance, we can protect trademark owners from "cybersquatters" who have registered your trademark as a domain name.

If you have been contacted by another party asserting legal rights to your domain name, we can advise you on how to protect and assert your rights in the domain name and on how to avoid or resolve domain name disputes.

If you are involved in a domain name dispute, or have questions about protecting your rights in a domain name, please contact us and we will evaluate the case and discuss strategies for enforcing your rights in the domain name. Schneck & Schneck is an AV-rated* law firm with offices in San Jose and Sacramento.

In cases in which domain names have been pirated, we have gone to international tribunals to restore those misappropriated domain names. Although all cases are based on their facts and success can never be guaranteed, our senior partner, Thomas Schneck, prevailed in a significant domain name dispute before the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

Depending on the circumstances of your specific domain name dispute, we may be able to file an action under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Using this forum to resolve domain name disputes may allow us to avoid more costly types of litigation. Before we provide our analysis and advice about how to proceed in the event of a domain name dispute, we must fully evaluate your circumstances and understand both your short-term and long-range goals.

For assistance with domain name disputes or to discuss any legal issues surrounding trademarks, patents, or domain names, contact Schneck & Schneck by email or by calling 408/297-9733.
