This week on Haunt Weekly, we're mixing Jonathan's hobby with his day job and discussing not one, but two separate Supreme Court rulings that are going to have major impacts, including in the haunted attraction industry.

Though one of the rulings deals with copyright and the other with trademark, the rulings both send the same message: It's getting more difficult to use exemptions under IP law.

So, what did the rulings say, and how could they impact haunts? That's what this episode is all about. 

This Week's Episode Includes:

1. Intro
2. Question of the Week
3. Primer on Intellectual Property
4. The Copyright Decision
5. The Trademark Decision
6. Final Thoughts
7. Conclusions

All in all, this is one episode you do NOT want to miss!
