I’ve worked as an Internet Trademarks Expert Witness in numerous cases over the years.

My Internet experience goes back to 1993, when I wrote the best-selling Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Internet (I did a total of seven editions of that book over the next 7 or years). Back then, there were literally around 200 Web sites in the entire world, so I’ve watched the development and growth of the commercial Internet in its entirety.

I’ve been involved in a wide range of activities on the Internet, too: Search Engine Optimization (I wrote SEO for Dummies, seven editions starting in 2003), Pay Per Click advertising, banner advertising, social media, email newsletter publishing, Web development…

As for my work as an Internet Trademarks Expert Witness, I’ve worked on literally dozens of trademark cases that have some kind of Internet technology or digital marketing aspect, such as…

  • Pinterest, Inc. v. Pintrips
    The judge cited my testimony when invalidating Pinterest’s “PIN” trademark

I am brought in to help as a Trademark Expert Witness in cases that have some kind of Internet technology or digital marketing aspect. Perhaps the trademark is being infringed by a party using Search Engine Optimization or Pay Per Click advertising in an infringing manner; or maybe two companies with significant online operations have similar names, and are concerned about confusion. Or maybe there’s an aspect of cybersquatting on a domain that uses a trademarked term.

I am the author of literally dozens of books about working and doing business online, such as the Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Internet (7 editions from 1993 – 2000), the Complete Idiot’s Guide to the World Wide Web (1995), Search Engine Optimization for Dummies (7 editions since 2003), Pay Per Click Search Engine Marketing for Dummies, and The Official Netscape JavaScript Book.

Over the last 15 years or so I have provided consulting services in the area of digital marketing to Amazon.com, Avvo, Zillow, Lonely Planet, Tower Records, Honey Baked Ham, and hundreds of other small- and medium-size companies.
