Chris Ridder’s Summary
I'm a lawyer, and am currently a Residential Fellow at Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society. I do intellectual property litigation and counseling in the areas of copyright, trademark, free speech and rights of publicity. I have also done a significant amount of patent litigation. My research interests include the full range of issues that arise at the intersection of technology and the law, including the application of intellectual property law to software and the Internet, and the impact of technological change on privacy and civil liberties. I have presented at Where 2.0 on location privacy, and at Defcon and Black Hat, on security weaknesses in computer forensic software.
I graduated from UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall) in 2001, clerked for U.S. District Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer, and served as an associate attorney at Fish & Richardson, P.C. and Simpson Thacher and Bartlett LLP. Prior to law school, I was a professional journalist; among other positions I served as Editor-in-Chief of the Anchorage Press in Anchorage, Alaska.
