Paul D. McGrady, Jr. concentrates his practice at the intersection of information technology and intellectual property, with special emphasis on domain name matters including domain name disputes, domain name transactions, and the protection of brands in the new top level domain names. Paul is the author of McGrady On Domain Names, the three-volume definitive treatise on domain name law, which is published by Lexis Nexis. He is a veteran of nearly 300 successful proceedings under the Uniform Domain Dispute Resolution Procedure (UDRP) and related ICANN policies, as well as multiple litigations brought under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). Paul represents large brand owners as well as registrars and others in the domain name industry. Paul is a member of the Intellectual Property Constituency and served as a member of ICANN's Special Trademark Issues (STI) team charged with reaching consensus on brand protections in the new top level domains. In May 2008, Paul was selected by IP Law & Business Magazine as one of the "Top 50 Under 45" Intellectual Property attorneys in the United States.
