Overview

Marcus Ellery handles DMCA takedown practice, trade secret misappropriation, and platform liability disputes. He drafts the firm's statutory notices and the responses to counter-notices, and manages escalation where a host ignores a facially valid notice or a repeat infringer returns under a new account.

He advises clients on what a platform can and cannot be compelled to do, and on the exposure that comes with sending a notice that overstates a claim. His background in engineering informs the firm's evidence capture — hashing, header preservation, and independent archiving before a notice goes out.
