How Ian Gates Helps Outdoor Brands Protect Intellectual Property

Second Nature is a weekly podcast about the business of outdoor, action, and endurance sports, hosted by Dylan Bowman and Aaron Lutze.   This week we speak with Ian Gates from KRDG Law, an intellectual property law firm based in Portland, OR that works with many outdoor brands to navigate the trademark and patent process, protecting their IP in the marketplace. We talk about the importance of protecting IP, the difference between trademarks, patents, and copyrights, and provide some practical examples from Ian's client base.   As usual we finish with Brand, Product, Content (BPC) where we leave listeners with a couple fun things to check out.   Links: Ian's Email Address - [email protected] KRDG Law Joyride Snowboards Avoli Volleyball Shoes Helinox Outdoor Chair Knix (Ian's BPC) FOLLOW OUR LINKEDIN PAGE FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER
