Mr. Partridge is a partner with the Chicago firm Pattishall, McAuliffe, Newbury, Hilliard & Geraldson LLP, a boutique practice focused on helping businesses defend their brands.
Mr. Partridge is noted for his experience with domain name disputes and Internet trademark issues. In 1998, he was selected by the United Nation's World Intellectual Property Organization as an expert on the domain name process. He has served as an ICANN UDRP Panelist since 1999, issuing over 150 reported decisions involving domain name disputes.

"Cybersquatting disputes continue to be a hot topic for business," Partridge explained. "The recent announcement regarding the sale of business.com for $350 million is but one spark igniting the imagination of Internet entrepreneurs. While much of the activity is legitimate, a growing amount continues to involve illegal infringement of trademark rights."
