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.
