This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

So I got to ask you some business questions or some legal questions.

I know we had Julian Brown, his episode went really viral.

And one clip went really, really viral where he said, it's a mistake to try to patent something.

Because if you patent something, then it goes on the registry and pretty

much it's just open source for people to steal your ideas big companies can take it they could sue you

so he advised people not to patent yeah so let me say this so there's four different types

of intellectual property right right? So a trade

secret will last as long as it's a secret. A patent only lasts for 20 years, but a trademark

will last as long as you use it, you will not lose it. I'm a trademark attorney, right?

And so Coca-Cola has been registered since 1893. Mercedes been registered since 1903.

So what I will tell people is don't allow people

to trick you out of your greatness

and tell you that a trademark is not necessary.

Now what Julian was talking about,

and I actually met Julian at InvestFest.

What he was talking about is a smart and it's a strategic move, but also what I would encourage Julian because he talked, he said he spoke to some CEO that was, I think he was the founder or the inventor of the, something series, something he referenced the guy in the interview what i would say is is that

julian should probably talk to someone like mr lani johnson mr lani johnson is an inventor

that works for nassah who is a black inventor right he invented the super soca and he actually

won multi-million dollar lawsuits because people

in french on his patent and so again sometimes we don't i understand his thought processor behind
