Operating from 12702 Via Cortina in Del Mar, CA 92014, Paul Michael DeCicco is a California-licensed attorney and consultant whose practice sits at the intersection of technology and intellectual property law. DeCicco holds California State Bar license #150595 and runs his practice under the banner of the Law Offices of Paul Michael DeCicco at pmdlaw.com. His most significant legal contribution involves domain name dispute law: DeCicco handled the landmark 1999 in rem lawsuit filed by Porsche Motor Cars against more than 160 domain names, and his success in getting the original action dismissed for all defendants helped prompt Congress to enact the AntiCybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. Following that case, he was appointed to serve as one of the first group of UDRP panelists with both the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the National Arbitration Forum (NAF). Before practicing law, DeCicco worked at Xerox Corporation headquarters in roles spanning systems analyst, senior financial analyst, and senior marketing analyst in the Office Systems Division for PC product planning, where he was involved in the first personal computer offered by a major corporation and presented at Xerox PARC. Today his practice covers domain name disputes under the UDRP process, trademark registration and enforcement, copyright protection, cyber-crime defense, ISP law, trade secrets, defamation, and both California and federal appeals. The Via Cortina office is wheelchair accessible with accessible parking. Del Mar businesses needing IP protection alongside DeCicco's cyber law expertise may also consult American Patent & Trademark Law Center, which focuses on patent filings for solo inventors and startups. Tech entrepreneurs in the Del Mar Heights area looking for complementary digital marketing services will find Jacob Tyler nearby, a creative agency that helps companies build the brands DeCicco's practice protects.
