David focuses his practice on litigation and transactions involving trademarks, copyrights, and domain names, and related product and service development and distribution issues. A former software and web developer, he regularly handles cutting-edge disputes involving law and technology.
David has developed particular expertise helping businesses navigate Internet, software, and Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) issues, and assists clients with the often novel application of intellectual property claims to cyber scams, intangible thefts, social media issues and other Internet based disputes. He is the author of BNA’s Guide to the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act and, in each of the past few years, represented clients in more than double the number of in rem anti-cybersquatting lawsuits than the closest competing firm—with hundreds of domain names and websites at issue.
He is also heavily involved with generic top-level domains (gTLDs), including the representation of gTLD applicants and registries, counseling clients on brand protection programs to address new gTLDs, and advising clients in more than one dozen gTLD objection proceedings.
David was named an "Intellectual Property Trailblazer" (2018) by the National Law Journal, one of DC’s "Super Lawyers" (2016-2017) and “Rising Stars” (2013- 2015) for Intellectual Property Litigation by Super Lawyers magazine, and a “Leading Practitioner” in Information Technology Law (2016) by Who’s Who Legal: Telecommunications Media & Technology. He received the 2016 Lonnie Borck Memorial Award from the Internet Commerce Association for pro bono work, and The Legal 500 US2012 recognized him for his practice “relating to online and emerging technology.” He is also frequently interviewed by media outlets from around the world for commentary on intellectual property, Internet, and technology law issues, and is a frequent lecturer on these issues.
