IPCybercrime’s founder Rob Holmes was invited by the American Bar Association to speak at their 27th Annual Intellectual Property Law Conference in Washington DC on Thursday March 29th on a panel entitled “Licensing, Control and Monitoring of Trademark Use on Social Media Websites”.

What effects do trademarks and social media have on each other? What are some of the efforts taken by in-house counsel to protect and enforce their intellectual property rights when they, their domestic and foreign licensees, and distributors, or others elect to market their brands via social media websites? The decision to host user-generated interactive content on one’s own site versus a well-established third-party social media site will be addressed, as will quality control provisions in domestic and cross-border licensing agreements and their relationship to trademark usage guidelines, social media policies and best practices.

In Rob Holmes’ segment he will be laying the foundation of how trademarks and social media affect e-commerce on a daily basis. From Facebook and Twitter to eBay and Craigslist, Social Media and e-commerce are blending together in this connected society. This presentation combines Rob’s professional and personal passions: Intellectual Property protection and Social Media. He will be joined by a panel of distinguished experts including Matthew Asbell (Ladas & Parry LLP), Robert Doerfler (SVP Worldwide), Fawn Horvath (Macy’s Inc.) and Kelly Slavitt (Reckitt Benckiser).

IPCybercrime.com LLC is committed to improving the environment by acting responsibly in our every-day business practices and conducting eco friendly investigations. We were among the first in the investigations industry to place this as a priority. We saw this as a way to not only cut waste, but also a way to innovate and become more efficient in delivering results.

Since 2001, we have been printing our reports to Portable Document Format (.pdf) and delivering them via email. All of our invoicing is done electronically using the cloud based QuickBooks Online.

Our headquarters reside in the Energy Star-compliant Bank of America Tower Plano which is managed by Parmenter Realty Partners, a leader in sustainable building management.

Our secure servers are powered by cloud-based technologies hosted by TrackVia, Box.Net, and Google Docs.

Our preferred field vehicle is the Toyota Prius. The EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB) rate the Prius as among the cleanest vehicles sold in the United States based on smog forming and toxic emissions.

Our goal is to completely become a paperless office by 2012.

What is a LitPak® Website Analysis Report?

Rob Holmes — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:18:06 +0000

A LitPak® is a website analysis report featuring written information and backup documentation relating to findings in connection with private investigative services. In the early 2000′s we realized how much documentation we had been compiling for our clients in our numerous Internet cases. We compiled the data using Portable Document Format (PDF) technology and presented a one=page report with the backup documents assembled it into one convenient electronic file. The term LitPak® was borne of the massive need for the invention of a “litigation packet” to make our clients’ lives easier. Beginning this practice in 2001, we believe we were one of the first investigative firms providing our reports electronically as our primary format. This would not only count us among the most innovative investigative agencies, but environmentally conscious as well.

Our world-famous LitPak® has been key to many major landmark court cases including:

Chanel, Inc. et al v. Dror Krispin

Louis Vuitton Malletier, S.A. v. Akanoc Solutions, Inc. et al

Chloe, S.A.S v. Tradekey, LLC et al

In fact, the least expensive LitPak® is our First Responder WebSite Analysis™ which is priced at only $50 and includes a Raw Ping™ of the subject’s IP address, subpoena information for the subject’s current Internet Service Provider, and other ‘found data’ (screenshots included) which will be imperative to begin any Internet case.
