Well you need to have the website in question (and your use thereof) evaluated against their trademark claim to determine whether there is any legitmacy to their request to C&D.  Once you have that evaluation, you'll need an attorney to write back a response for you.  Typically that whole process will 4-5 hours to complete.   -Paul http://www.protectitip.com/contact/...

Someone created a fake Facebook profile and made inappropriate posts posing as me.

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Todd A. Sullivan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
I think a suit could be possible. I think there are a couple of cases out there that have used identity theft laws to prosecute folks running revenge porn sites (among the phrases I never dreamed would enter my lexicon). The harm here seems comparable. Google "identity theft" and "revenge porn" and "lawsuit" you should get some useful articles. I think the cases were in California and/or Florida. They were based on state law and I don't know what comparable laws exist in Louisiana, but ultimately your options depend on whether the person that did this has any money (can't get blood from a stone) and the cost to litigate. Your girlfriend may have a libel/defamation case as well.... Read More

How can I protect my idea from being stolen from me when trying to find help in launching it?

Answered 13 years and 6 months ago by Michael Charles Doland (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
Ideas normally cannot be protected. Trade secrets may be protected under some circumstances. What you may be seeking is a Non-Disclosure Agreement. In my experience they have a primarily psychological rather than legal value.

can I POST PICTURES OF PEOPLE I TOOK AT NIGHT CLUBS ON MY WEBSITE FOR PUBLIC VIEW?

Answered 14 years and 3 months ago by Nancy J Flint (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
Without more information, the answer is most likely no. In most jurisdictions, you would need consent of anyone who is in one of the pictures if you are using the photograph to promote your own commercial interest. You also need to be aware of what else is in the picture. If there is anything regarding the night club's trademarks or "trade dress" that would allow someone to identify the night club, you also need to make sure that your photograph does not make it appear that the night club is "endorsing," "sponsoring," or "affiliated with" your website if your website is for a commercial purpose. If you are not using the photograph for a commercial purpose, then these concerns are not as great. However, make sure that the photo does not cast anyone in a "false light" or disclose personal information about them that would embarrass them. You should have a lawyer take a look at the photographs and give you an opinion particularly if you will be using them on a commercial website. ... Read More
