This week Owen and Marcus sit down with Steve Pearson. Not only is Steve a founder himself, he’s also an intellectual property expert who’s been in the field for decades. In this episode, we get deep into the concepts and nuances of patents, trade marks, service marks, and more. When should you apply for a patent? What kind? What about those little symbols after slogans or logos, what do those mean? Steve and the guys get into all that and more!
