Benjamin Duranske’s Summary

I am a writer and intellectual property attorney. I stepped away from practice to pursue writing full time in 2007. I am the author of "Virtual Law: Navigating the Legal Landscape of Virtual Worlds" (April, 2008). I have several fiction and non-fiction projects in the works as well. As much fun as it has been, I have found that I really miss the day-to-day practice of law, and intend to return at some point in 2008.

Benjamin Duranske’s Specialties:

In regard to legal issues, I've largely focused on intellectual property law, litigation, and the emerging field of "virtual law." In regard to virtual worlds, I have focused on legal issues, internal governance, economics, and policy.
