In addition to the foregoing, domain names and online infringements have become major issues in today’s business environment. At Lotus, we represent our clients in resolving domain name disputes and in conducting national and international proceedings against bad-faith registrations. The protection of trade secrets, the establishment of confidentiality frameworks, and the drafting of know-how sharing protocols also constitute a significant part of our services. Software and technology contracts, SaaS agreements, cloud computing, and maintenance–support arrangements are further areas in which our expertise stands out, particularly in light of growing technology investments.

Intellectual property matters are also gaining increasing importance in the media, gaming, and e-sports industries. In these sectors, we provide guidance on licensing, content agreements, advertising and broadcasting contracts. Employee inventions and rights arising from R&D activities are critical to ensuring that companies safeguard their innovation potential. Furthermore, we manage filing, registration, and enforcement processes for geographical indications, plant varieties, and other special regimes, thereby contributing to our clients’ ability to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.
