Welcome to our second Technology ebulletin of 2008.  What’s in store for technology this year? We’ve done our own analysis and come up with our top eight technology tips for 2008. Agree? Disagree? Let us know!

In this edition we also highlight government proposals which will affect electronic rights owners and comment on an important recent Nominet decision about abusive domain name registrations.  We keep you updated about board appointments and the success of our graduate recruitment scheme, and the technology team welcomes partner Jonathan Grant and associate Frank Jennings to our Gatwick office.  Finally, technology companies take note: we outline the programme for our forthcoming seminar programme especially aimed at you.
