If you own or have a strong interest in a business, you may find yourself entangled in a commercial lawsuit issue at some point. Commercial litigation differs from civil litigation when at least one of the parties is an organization. Commercial litigation cases can take many different forms. Below are some of the more prevalent sorts of commercial litigation challenges. Contact a professional if you require assistance with a commercial lawsuit case in Reno or the surrounding areas. With more than 25 years of experience, you can be sure that The Law Offices at Kenneth Lyon III will provide you with the best representation in the area. 

Breach of Contract

When one or both parties claim that the contract was broken, a breach of contract case is launched. A breach of contract occurs when a commitment made as part of a contract is broken without justification. A contract violation can be serious or minor. When a contract is materially breached, the recipient receives something completely different than what was agreed upon. A minor breach happens when one party violates a contract condition, such as missing a deadline.

Intellectual Property Disputes

Copyright, domain names, trade secrets, and patents are all common problems in intellectual property litigation. One of the most well-known cases of intellectual property problems involves the former file-sharing website Napster. Although Napster did not own the rights to the music being shared, the website allowed users to freely download and trade music files. The Recording Industry Association of America sued them for copyright infringement but lost.

Data Breach Litigation

As society becomes increasingly reliant on technology, data breach litigation is becoming more common than ever. This type of litigation may be initiated when a company that has experienced a cyberattack fails to properly notify the people affected. For example, imagine a data breach at an online retailer that exposes all of the customer's personal information (address, credit card number, etc.). Individuals, financial institutions, and other entities affected by data breaches may file lawsuits.
