Wiley Connected

In this podcast, Wiley partners Attison L. Barnes, III and David E. Weslow pull from their combined decades of experience for an in-depth discussion of cybersquatting and related Internet and digital media scams. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, business impersonation scams have increased 85%, and 95% of the 500 most popular websites are subject to impersonation. As scammers become more sophisticated, so have remedies and courses of action to combat this dynamic issue. Join us as we discuss the inception of the 1999 Federal Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) and its applications, the forms and evolution of cyber scams, and the future of anti-cybersquatting litigation.

Wiley partner Tim Brightbill and consulting counsel Jackie Ruff sit down to discuss all things digital trade, from its definition to the overarching themes in the current regulatory space.

Listen as we explore some of the most prominent initiatives and frameworks for establishing the rules on digital trade, ways businesses can get involved on an industry and individual level, and key developments to look for ahead of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference, as well as U.S.-EU and Indo-Pacific digital trade negotiations.
