SETH D. GREENSTEIN is a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Constantine Cannon. Seth concentrates his practice on intellectual property litigation and licensing issues.

Seth has litigated copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret cases involving high technology and software products before the federal courts and the International Trade Commission. He recently argued and won an appeal before the Sixth Circuit in Lexmark Int'l Inc. v. Static Control Components, Inc., involving novel issues under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, and the copyrightability and fair use of software. He has represented satellite, Internet and cable digital music services in rate-setting arbitration and administrative proceedings before the Copyright Office. His litigation experience also includes numerous cases involving antitrust and unfair competition law, as well as contract and complex business tort issues.

Seth's practice includes advice and advocacy on legislative and policy issues relating to intellectual property and high technology products and services. Since the early 1990's, he has represented the interests of consumer electronics companies before Congress and in inter-industry discussions with respect to digital content protection systems for audio and video. In June 1998, he co-founded and since has served as counsel to the Digital Media Association, a trade association advocating the interests of technology companies involved in the protection and delivery of audio and audio-visual works over the Internet and other digital networks. He testified on their behalf before a House Subcommittee considering the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. Since 1989, he has participated in the committee meetings of experts of the World Intellectual Property Organization toward drafting model copyright-related laws, the December 1996 Diplomatic Conference which resulted in the WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties and, on behalf of Internet webcasters, a potential broadcaster rights treaty against international signal piracy.

His experience also includes advising clients concerning and drafting the licensing of patents, technology, copyrighted works and trademarks.

Seth is a member of the bars of the District of Columbia, the state of Maryland, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court of the United States.

Seth has written articles on computer law, licensing and copyright issues for numerous publications, and is a frequent speaker on issues involving copyright and new technology. See:
