Chicago IP Litigation Tracking Northern District of Illinois IP Cases

Top Ten Cyberlaw Trends

Posted in Legal Seminars

As promised earlier this week, click here for the slides from my Northern District of Illinois Cyberlaw Trends presentation to the Chicago Bar Association’s Cyberlaw & Data Privacy Committee last Tuesday.  It was a very interactive presentation, so the slides cannot convey the full content of the presentation, but I think you will still find them useful.  Here is an overview of the ten trends I discussed:

  1. Downloading music has consequences
     
  2. Copyright infringement can lead to jail time
  3. Dot com’s are favorite defendants
  4. Non-practicing entities are a major force
  5. Keywords and thumbnails
  6. Virtual world – Real litigation
  7. Website content
  8. Old world content – New world tracking
  9. CLC v. Craigslist  — Communications Decency Act
  10. Electronic Discovery
