For more than 40 years Mr. Street represented clients in copyright and trademark infringement matters, beginning with his first case for a professional photographer in 1983. 


With the rapidly developing technology and ever-expanding use of the Internet, it is easier to copy and misappropriate intellectual property and trade secret information. As a result, Mr. Street's litigation practice focused more and more on copyright infringement actions and trade secret protection in the past 20 years.  He served on the Board of the HSBA Intellectual Property and Technology Section from 2006 through 2021and was Section Chair for 2010 and 2011.  Mr. Street was rated in Super Lawyers for Intellectual Property Litigation and Business Litigation since 2010.


He established his solo litigation practice in 2010 so that he could focus on protecting intellectual property rights.  He has represented clients in copyright and trademark infringement matters (both plaintiffs and defendants) including work for photographers and other visual artists, musicians, writers, sculptors, non-profit organizations, law firms and  technology companies.
