Who is Ian C. Ballon?

Ian Ballon is an Internet and intellectual property litigator, author of books on Internet law and Executive Director of Stanford University Law School’s Center for E-Commerce. He is the author of the 4-volume legal treatise, E-Commerce and Internet Law: Treatise with Forms 2d edition, the leading legal reference book on Internet law, which was first published in 2000. A second edition was published in 2008 and is updated annually. He is also an intellectual property litigator with Greenberg Traurig LLP, a firm of approximately 1800 lawyers.

Mr. Ballon grew up in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and has been practicing in the area of Internet law since the early-to-mid-1990s. He gave a speech on Internet law at the 1995 ABA Annual Meeting in Chicago and was talked into converting the outline he prepared for that speech into a full book by Ray Ocampo, then the general counsel of Oracle Corporation. The book was eventually published in December 2000 as a three volume set covering copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws, licensing, litigation, privacy, security, secondary liability, jurisdiction, criminal laws and obscenity and child pornography, all from a practical, business-oriented perspective. The treatise grew to four volumes and eventually a second edition was released in 2008. The treatise has been cited as authority by state and federal courts.
