The growth of the digital economy has led to the emergence of new legal problems.
Information Technology Law is applied via traditional legal concepts, which are steadily being adapted to meet all manner of new requirements for greater speed and technical prowess.
Domain names (for example “meyer-partenaires.com”) constitute the gateway to businesses on the Internet. Of a particular legal nature and governed by a specific set of rules, the domain name is something between a distinctive sign and a technical resource.
The domain name represents therefore a new form of intangible asset forming part of the business, a much-valued item, but susceptible to legal difficulties.
Since the domain name is a new form of distinctive sign on the Internet, a specific form of legal protection (involving availability search, watching for infringement, etc.) is called for.
The Web site is, after all, the showcase of your business.
The design, elaboration and use of your Internet site involve not only business law, tax law, copyright, etc., but also all the many laws and regulations governing every aspect of the site itself and its protection from third parties.
Proper legal protection for the day-to-day running of your site is vital to ensure an efficient and secured presence in today’s digital world.
Our solid experience in IT and intellectual property enables us to offer solutions with regard to legal issues which the Internet has given rise to.
