Chicago IP Attorney & Lawyer : R. David Donoghue : Chicago IP Litigation Blog

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

I will be speaking with the Chicago Bar Association's Cyberlaw & Data Privacy Committee tomorrow, Tuesday, February 19 at noon.  My presentation is titled:  “Northern District of Illinois Cyberlaw Trends."  If you are in Chicago tomorrow, please join us.  The event is being held at the Chicago Bar Association building, 321 S. Plymouth.  If you cannot make it, I will post the slides later this week and I understand that the Chicago Bar Association will post it as a podcast.  It will not be the same as what I hope will be a highly interactive presentation, but I will post the slides later this week and a link to the podcast when it is available.

Thanks again to Evan Brown and his Internet Cases blog for the opportunity.

I am throwing caution to the wind* and giving a presentation titled Northern District Cyberlaw Trends to the Chicago Bar Association's Cyberlaw & Data Privacy Committee, thanks to a request from Evan Brown on his excellent Internet Cases blog.  I am going to discuss some of the major Northern District cyberlaw cases and opinions from 2007, including the Craigslist case, and discuss trends that can be seen from them. 

If you are available February 19 at noon, join us at the Chicago Bar Association building 321 S. Plymouth.  If you cannot make it, I will post about the content of my presentation after the 19th.

*  Washington DC attorney Eric J. Menhart has filed a trademark application for the use of cyberlaw in connection with legal services.  Not surprisingly, the blogs have a lot to say about it.  Check out Blawg IT, Electronic Frontier Foundation and GrokLaw.
