Skyscrapers aren't just engineering marvels, they're intellectual property battlegrounds where creativity meets the courtroom. Welcome to the fascinating world where distinctive buildings become trademarked brands, architectural blueprints trigger million-dollar lawsuits, and even tourist photographs might infringe copyright.Our journey begins with trade dress protection for buildings so distinctive they function as logos. The Hard Rock Hotel's 450-foot guitar shape earned trademark protection for being "inherently distinctive." At the same time, the geometrically interesting Palacio del Rio learned the hard way that being architecturally notable isn't enough, you need instant brand recognition. When your building makes people stop and stare, it might just be eligible for trademark protection.We then explore the often-overlooked protection for architectural plans. Blueprints aren't merely technical documents but creative works with automatic copyright protection. From the UK to Canada to Australia, courts have awarded substantial damages when developers use another's plans without permission. The message is clear: copying isn't just copying and pasting, using someone's creative layout without authorization is litigation waiting to happen.The laws governing the photography of buildings create another layer of complexity. "Freedom of panorama" determines whether you can snap, share, or sell images of buildings in public spaces, with drastically different rules worldwide. The Eiffel Tower exemplifies this peculiar legal landscape, the structure itself is in the public domain. Still, its twinkling lights remain under copyright protection, meaning your nighttime Paris photo could technically require permission for commercial use.Perhaps most fascinating is the tension between owning a building and owning its design. When a Brazilian paint company used a home's image on product labels with the owner's permission but without consulting the architect, the courts sided with the architect. Similarly, when a German museum planned renovations requiring the removal of an architectural art installation, the Federal Court had to weigh property rights against creative moral rights.Whether you're an architect protecting your vision, a developer navigating permissions, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful spaces, understanding these intersecting legal frameworks helps you navigate the built environment more responsibly. Because great design deserves more than admiration, it deserves legal protection, proper credit, and sometimes, a really good lawyer.Subscribe now to explore more intellectual property frontiers where creativity and commerce collide in unexpected ways.Send us a text

243. The Life of Chuck, Cleaner, Materialists, The Swarm, and Equals

It's just Kevin and Lauren this week and they came prepared. They talk about Life of Chuck, Cleaner, Materialists, The Swarm, and Equals. Lauren kicks off the show with a largely positive review of the new Mike Flanagan/Stephen King joint, The Life of Chuck. Putting those two men together you'd think this would be a horror fest, but it's a poignant film about a man's life. Early comparisons were drawn to The Shawshank Redemption, but Lauren feels this movie doesn't quite have that same depth. All in all, it's still a good movie and worth a watch. Speaking of good movies, Kevin didn't bother to watch any this. Instead, he kicks off his first of two “I watched it so you didn't have to” segments with Cleaner on MAX. This is Die Hard clone that lacks much of the DNA that made that film great. It's not necessarily a bad film, but you'd do better with the OG. It stars Daisy Ridley as a former soldier turned window cleaner who gets stuck outside her building when eco terrorists take over. She's forced to battle her way back inside (which takes far too long) so that she can save the day because, of course, the entire police force is unable to breach the building. Look, it's better than Skyscraper, so there's that… We flip back to goodness with Lauren's review of Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and some guy named Pedro Pascal. It's a love story and billed as a RomCom, though Lauren and Kevin discuss the fact that it's less funny and more thoughtful than most, leaving it a bit in the ratings limbo. Folks going to see a Failure to Launch type movie are coming out disappointed. That said, it's a really good movie about love and self discovery and is well worth a watch. Just go in with more grounded expectations. Let's talk about expectations for a second. Have you ever seen the trailer or poster for something ad said to yourself, “that's going to suck”? A wise person would not watch said offering. But Kevin has no fear. On HBO, he came across the series The Swarm and it's… well… not good. It's not about a killer swarm of bees. That would make sense. It's about an underwater hive mind turning everything in the ocean against humanity. Think The Abyss, but globally, and much, much worse. At its core, it ends up being a neat concept but a very poor offering overall. Getting into the spirit, Lauren closes the show with a review of the film, Equals. It stars Nicolas Holt and Kristen Stewart and that's about where the good part ends. It's a futuristic society where people have been stripped of emotion and if you develop emotions, you get wiped. Our two stars develop emotions (obviously) and fall in love (obviously-er) which leads to them struggling to escape this world so they can be together. It ends on a semi tragic, semi vague note that leaves you wondering, “why did I do this?” As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let is know how we are doing and what we can be doing better. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

While our host enjoys some well-earned R&R, we're cracking open the Six Figure Trucker vault to revisit one of our most powerful conversations. We've got part two of our conversation with Peter Rizzo. As you heard last week, Peter is one of our top drivers and one that excels in logistics. In part two, we dive into Peter's incredible backstory. Before he was a fixture in a Big Rig, our guest today spent most of his days in the Big Apple. As a kid growing up playing basketball on the streets of Long Island, 6 foot 8 inch Peter Rizzo was often called a “Skyscraper.” He went on to play hoops in college before returning to the City as a police officer in the land of skyscrapers. But, within his first few months on the job, two of those towers came down. But, when the unthinkable occurred, Peter Rizzo joined his comrades and jumped straight into the fire to do what he could to rescue lives and restore a city. We thank him for his service, and we're honored to revisit this conversation today as he shares some of his memories of that time on the force with the NYPD. Don't miss this conversation with one of our nation's finest on this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker The Six-Figure Trucker is a weekly podcast about driveaway trucking brought to you by Norton Transport.

Two Denver skyscrapers just sold for a jaw-dropping 96% discount from their 2019 values. That's right—buildings once worth $200 million went for a mere $3.2 million, less than many single-family homes! This episode exposes how tech-heavy cities like Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle are watching their commercial real estate markets collapse as remote work hollows out downtown cores and homeless encampments drive away remaining businesses. Is this the inevitable result of pandemic policies, or just the first domino in a nationwide commercial real estate crisis? Watch as we break down how Democrat-run tech hubs are facing the consequences of years of mismanagement while developers scramble to convert empty office buildings into residential units.

Did you know that medieval Bologna, Italy, was once packed with towering skyscrapers? Back in the 12th and 13th centuries, the city had nearly 100 tall, narrow towers built by wealthy families as both status symbols and defensive structures. These towers dominated the skyline, with the tallest reaching over 300 feet high! Today, only about 20 towers remain, with the iconic Asinelli and Garisenda towers standing as symbols of Bologna's rich history. And it's far from being the only place from the past with amazing secrets that will boil your brain even today. Let's dive into a journey through time - are you ready?

Why does the prison industry develop in response to the failures of capitalism? How was the movement to shut down one prison turned into a movement to open a network of skyscraper jail facilities?
