Slaying the Corporate Litigation Dragon: Emerging the Victor in an Intellectual Property Cybersuit

Presented at The Fifth HOPE (2004), July 9, 2004, 3 p.m. (60 minutes)

Have you ever wanted to tackle a corporate giant and live to tell about it? Meet web warrior Atom Smasher, whose lifelong fascination with law proved an invaluable commodity the day he found himself in the cross-hairs of some Fortune 500 big guns. In this lively discussion he'll recount his personal odyssey with the "men and women in black" whose federal lawsuit attempted to pull the plug on his whistle-blowing site. Learn how he responded to a cease and desist letter, what he did when served with a lawsuit, and how he triumphed in his legal battle.
