Vazirani](http://www.leagle.com/xmlresult.aspx?xmldoc=In%20FDCO%2020121003A97.xml&docbase=CsLwAr3-2007-Curr), *D. Ariz., No. 2:11-cv-00369-JAT, 10/2/12.  I am somewhat happy for him.  Mr. Vazirani used to sell Aviva life insurance products and, at some point, the relationship was terminated.  So, Mr. Vazirani then bought up about 14 domain names incorporating the trademark AVIVA, for example, AVIVAPLCSUCKS.COM and AVIVAUNCOVERED.  On these sites, Mr. Vazirani proceeded to “gripe”.  [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/bid/162118/Internet-Law-and-How-to-Cybergripe) 1 Comment [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/bid/162118/Internet-Law-and-How-to-Cybergripe#comments-listing) Tags: [Business & Legal](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/business-legal), [Employer Best Practices](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/employer-best-practices), [Employee Rights](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/employee-rights), [Internet](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/internet) ## [Intellectual Property Law, Trademarks and Creating a Brand](https://blog.stpub.com/bid/156110/Intellectual-Property-Law-Trademarks-and-Creating-a-Brand) Posted by [Tina Loza](https://blog.stpub.com/author/tina-loza) on Mon, Sep 10, 2012 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.stpub.com/hs-fs/file-17074732-jpg/images/tina_loza.jpg) ](https://blog.stpub.com/bid/156110/Intellectual-Property-Law-Trademarks-and-Creating-a-Brand) I find that, because I run my own practice, I spend a lot of time networking, meeting people and learning. One of the “hot topics” of conversation I often encounter is “branding”, and how everyone wants to establish, and use, their new brands consistently on social media and in other avenues.

It makes life so easy. I know that there are a slew of attorneys who existed before the time of the internet, and on-line legal research, but I am so glad that I did not have to be one of them. I am grateful that I did not have to know that kind of grueling legal practice. This is so much more fun!
