Pathway 07
SaaS agreements, state privacy statutes, AI governance duties, and domain-name and trademark conflict procedures.
Technology law in the U.S. is mostly contract law plus a fast-growing layer of state statutes. There is still no comprehensive federal privacy law — so a SaaS company's real obligations live in its customer agreements, the state privacy acts that reach its users, and now the first AI-specific statutes.
These guides map that terrain from the operator's chair: what to negotiate in a software contract, which state privacy laws apply to you, what an AI governance file should contain, and what to do when someone registers your trademark as a domain.

There is no single U.S. privacy law — there is a growing patchwork of state statutes with overlapping but different rules. Here is how to read the map without memorizing twenty statutes.

Governance duties for automated and AI-assisted decisions.
Technology, Privacy & IP
When software helps decide who gets hired, insured, housed, or approved for credit, a growing body of U.S. law attaches duties — most of it older than the AI boom. Here is the governance picture as of mid-2026.
UDRP, ACPA, and getting a domain back.
Technology, Privacy & IP
When someone registers a domain that trades on your trademark, you have three main paths: an administrative UDRP proceeding, a federal ACPA lawsuit, or a negotiated purchase. Each fits a different situation.
