Outcome
The digital age has led to new and challenging IP issues that any business that uses digital assets—such as software, websites, and much more—of which you should be fully aware. The World Wide Web creates a world of jurisdictional problems when it comes to digital intellectual property. The continual illicit copying and sharing of a DVD would also likely result in a degradation of the product. Digital assets, however, can be infinitely, easily, and cheaply reproduced. The infringement of digital intellectual property is much easier than reproducing physical works. Not only is it much easier to illegally reproduce digital intellectual property, it is also much easier to distribute it. Thousands of illegal copies of your digital IP can be sent around the world in the click of a button. Additionally, the ease of reproduction and distribution of digital assets means you must contend with both commercial infringers as well as individuals—some of which may be purposefully proliferating stolen intellectual property, but even more of which are doing so simply out of ignorance. If you do discover unlicensed uses of your digital intellectual property, actually pursuing a claim may be incredibly difficult. Digital IP law is still a nascent subset of IP law, and it is still trying to catch up to the new technology. When there are issues with your digital IP, it can be difficult to predict the outcome of your potential legal actions. If your business relies on any form of digital assets or intellectual property, it is vital that you enlist the services of a cutting-edge IP attorney who is fully aware of the unique challenges and nuances inherent in digital IP law to help ensure your rights to that property are effectively protected and enforced.
