Internet And Website Law In Bucks County, PA And Brooklyn, NY
Experienced Internet Law Attorney in Brooklyn & Bucks County
Legal Protection for Your Online Business
Operating a business online requires understanding the legal landscape, including trademark infringement and compliance with federal and state regulations. Our firm advises clients in Bucks County, Northeast Philadelphia, PA, and Brooklyn, NY on navigating these challenges, ensuring your online presence on platforms like Instagram, X, and Facebook is legally sound.
Even if you believe your business operates only in one state, the moment you start selling across state lines or take orders online, you’re engaging in interstate commerce. This exposes your business to potential legal claims and lawsuits from customers in other states, or even in federal court.
Trademark Infringement on Social Media
Social media platforms have strict policies against intellectual property infringement. For instance, Instagram prohibits content that violates trademark rights, which can lead to content removal. Understanding these policies and ensuring compliance is critical to avoiding disputes and protecting your brand integrity.
Instagram allows trademark owners to report infringement, and while it does not adjudicate disputes, it may remove content deemed infringing. It is important to note that Instagram’s policies regarding trademark violations may not always align with U.S. federal law.
