Dan Lee Rogers

I'm an attorney, working primarily in the video game and social media industries, practicing transactional, intellectual property, copyright and trademark law.

Over the last twenty years, I’ve been privileged to work on the leading edge of technology, overseeing the business and legal aspects of multi-million dollar interactive projects, managing software and video game development, and marketing teams. I’ve participated in the development and launch of over seventy five video games, of which fifteen or so have sold over one million units. I've also crafted licensing and software agreements with leading Hollywood studios, sports teams and athletes, iconic rock musicians, actors, and recognized properties. But it’s in working with creative individuals-- programmers, artists, musicians, and designers--that is most satisfying.

- Interactive software and technology law, including software transactions, licensing, privacy, and IP rights (licensed to practice law in California and the Federal Courts).
