Running a Shopify store is one of the most accessible ways to launch an online business, but accessibility does not mean the business is insulated from legal liability. Many store owners assume that because Shopify provides the platform, Shopify also shields them from legal claims. That is not how the law works. Shopify supplies the […]

If you own a trademark that another business is using without permission, your first instinct may be to pursue a trademark dilution claim. But dilution is a narrow legal theory reserved for a specific category of marks, and the evidentiary bar is high. Unlike a traditional infringement claim — where you prove that consumers are […]

Many developers and technology founders assume that because software is built from lines of code, it cannot be patented. The reality is more nuanced. Software can be patented in the United States, but the path to protection requires careful planning. After the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International, 573 U.S. […]

Your website represents years of work — the writing, the structure, the voice, the expertise you have built into every page. From detailed practice area descriptions to original blog posts and product copy, your content is a business asset that helps potential clients find you, understand your services, and choose to work with you. When […]

Most business owners understand trademark infringement: someone uses a name or logo confusingly similar to yours, and customers get misled. But trademark law protects certain brands from a second and distinct legal threat — one that does not require consumer confusion at all.

Raising capital requires sharing information — and sharing information creates risk. Before a startup pitches to investors, the founders have usually built something worth protecting: original software, a novel process, a proprietary design, or confidential business logic.

When a company acquires a startup, the most valuable assets on the table are usually intangible. Software, brand identity, patents, proprietary algorithms, and trade secrets often represent the core of what makes a startup worth acquiring in the first place. The assumption that goes into almost every acquisition is that the startup owns these assets. […]

Copyright protects original works the moment they are created — articles, photographs, software code, videos, music, and other creative expression are all covered automatically under U.S. law. But automatic protection and enforceable protection are not the same thing. When infringement happens, the most important question is not whether you own the copyright. It is whether […]

AI tools are now embedded in how most online businesses operate. E-commerce brands use them for product descriptions, customer service chatbots, ad creatives, and marketing copy. SaaS companies rely on them for automation, analytics, and user interactions. For years, regulators largely watched from the sideline. That is changing fast. A new wave of AI disclosure […]

Running an e-commerce business means your most valuable assets often are not physical. Your brand name, website content, product designs, software, marketing materials, and even proprietary processes all represent competitive advantages that can be copied, stolen, or misused in a way that is far easier online than in a brick-and-mortar environment. Intellectual property (IP) protection […]
