Internet of Things

Overview

We offer specialized legal services to clients navigating the complex landscape of Internet of Things (IoT), including issues related to data privacy and security, intellectual property, contracts, and regulatory compliance. Our team works closely with clients to develop tailored strategies for their IoT products and services, ensuring successful launches and growth in this dynamic market.

Our expertise covers various types of regulated internet access for IoT devices, such as machine-to-machine, point-to-point, and voice-enabled devices. We guide clients in determining whether their IoT device access is regulated and offer counsel on compliance with applicable regulations, including equipment authorizations, taxes, and privacy laws. Our goal is to ensure our clients avoid substantial fines, market barriers, and potential equipment confiscation due to non-compliance.

As IoT technology becomes more accessible to startups and entrepreneurs, understanding the regulations for all equipment is critical for manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers.
