Joining the conversation this week are Dr. John Leighton, associate attorney with Thompson Patent Law, and Richard Bragg, a patent attorney practicing in the Minneapolis area.

In this episode of the Litigation Quality Patents® Podcast, discussion bears on any consumer product with a consumable or disposable member to it.
