Dozier Internet Law Trademark Lawyer

Dozier Internet Law is a trademark lawyer law firm with offices in California and Virginia. The founder of the firm, John W. Dozier Jr., is rated by other lawyers and judges as having reached the height of professional excellence and the highest levels of skill and integrity (AV rating). John is a seasoned technology executive with a diverse and unique background in both litigation and Internet and E-Commerce business and is licensed to practice law by the Supreme Court of Virginia.

The following are comments from Mr. Dozier as a trademark lawyer:

How valuable is your business or product name? Most small and mid-size businesses aren't aware of the value of protecting trademarks. When the focus is on making payroll, monitoring sales, providing quality customer service and reaching financial projections, it might not seem like a top priority to police the web for thieves.

However, it ought to be. Others steal your name to hurt you. Such theft has an immediate impact on your sales, retentions and service costs - which pounds your bottom line.

How does it happen? You may not know how to find or recognize trademark theft. It is likely designed to avoid detection. For example, if someone steals your name and uses it in a search engine pay-per-click (PPC) campaign, the thief might not run the ad in the geographic location of your company headquarters. You won't see the advertisement in your state (with a few exceptions), but everyone else in the world will.

Who does it? Anyone could hijack your name - from the well-respected Internet companies that use popular terms to drive traffic with no attempt to filter out trademarks, to the 15-year-old affiliate marketer in South America who launches websites embedded with your name in content and tags. Don't forget about your competitor down the street who might use a misspelled domain name that resembles your URL or the competitor you haven't met - perhaps in Europe - who buys PPC ads using your name.
