Research Interests
Mr. Dhuey's practice centers on high-stakes intellectual property disputes across patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret domains, with particular emphasis on appellate strategy. His work frequently intersects technology law and creative industries, exemplified by the landmark "Monkey Selfie" case (Naruto v. Slater) where he successfully defended photographer David Slater against PETA's copyright claim on behalf of a crested macaque. This case demonstrated innovative application of authorship principles in digital media contexts and resulted in his district court brief being anthologized in the Aspen Handbook for Legal Writers as exemplary legal advocacy.
