Technology
Our technology practice covers every segment of the computer and information technology industries from hardware manufacturers, multimedia and software developers, publishers, distributors, significant end users, Internet and online service companies, biomedical device and engineering companies, venture capital firms and other large and small local, national and international technology companies. We frequently assist clients in structuring creative arrangements to acquire, develop, protect and distribute technologies and products both domestically and internationally.
The complexities of doing business electronically raise a host of legal questions that are further complicated by the continuing globalization of world economies. While the Internet has developed into an efficient and ever-expanding means of doing business, companies must proceed with caution. The global nature of the Internet and the continued deregulation of the telecommunications sector have created a complicated and rapidly changing legal environment that affects the markets into which our clients are entering. For this reason, Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP is proactive in our approach and works with clients to adopt the necessary business practice to ensure that potential problems are detected and cured early.
In addition, our attorneys can help you secure a viable position in the post-"Information Revolution" marketplace by showing you how to protect your intellectual property in this new environment. We can assist you with technology transfers, including assignments, licensing, and joint ventures. We have represented clients working with these new technologies in trials and appeals in the federal and state courts, United States International Trade Commission, arbitrations, and adversarial proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Federal Trade Commission and other tribunals, and industry investigations such as those before the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus.
