Summary
Today's episode is unlike anything else Dan and Ian have ever recorded on this podcast.
It all started with a cease and desist letter that we received via email at the beginning of the year.
That letter was from an in-house counsel at a very large company and it alleged that The Tropical MBA Podcast was potentially infringing on their intellectual property.
We decided to reach out to our friend Eric Misterovich from Revision Legal. Revision Legal is a law firm that specializes in working with businesses that make money online.
Eric joins us on today's podcast to talk a little bit about intellectual property law, as well as the cease and desist letter that we received.
Make sure to stay tuned until the end of this episode to hear more about the ongoing nature of this situation.
