OA1268 - Patents, trademarks, and copyrights, ach mein! How did the Fender Stratocaster, a guitar that has been in continuous manufacture since 1954, Suddenly become the subject of an intellectual property dispute? Well, maybe this didn't exactly come from Out of the Woods. Fender has had 5 utility patents, 1 design patent, and 3 trademarks relevant to the Stratocaster Through the Years. But the one thing that's been Slipping Through Their Fingers all this time was protection for that iconic (or is it?) body shape. After their design patent expired, their trademark application was Denied, and US copyright was definitionally Forbidden, anyone could see that Nothing Really Matters to the US Patent and Trademark Office, and Fender was left Walking in the Snow. Very similar (some might say identical) body shapes entered the market. It's Late, but perhaps not too late. Fender sailed the Seven Seas to another country with different copyright laws. But with only a German court order in hand, will Fender be able to make this exclusive protection Live Forever, or is it just Cheap Talk other guitar makers can ignore? Contrary to the hot takes everywhere, it could be A Hard Day's Night before we get a definitive answer. Is any of it JU$T? You decide. Tune in for the history that got us here, an overview of US IP law, and to hear Jenessa argue with a computer, and 90% of people talking about this, who just cannot seem to link to the documents they're referencing… Fender patents, relevant to Stratocaster: Guitar shape (utility/functional features): U.S. Patent No. 2,960,900 (issued Nov. 22, 1960) Guitar shape (design/ornamental features): U.S. Patent No. Des. 169,062 (issued Mar. 24, 1953) Bridge and pick-up assembly: U.S. Patent No. 2,573,254 (issued Oct. 30, 1951) Tremolo: U.S. Patent No. 2,741,146 (issued Apr. 10, 1956) Pickup and circuit: U.S. Patent No. 2,817,261 (issued Dec. 24, 1957) Adjustable neck: U.S. Patent No. 3,143,028 (issued Aug. 4, 1964) Dating a Fender Stratocaster, Adirondack Guitars.

Lured Up Podcast 395: Forward Progress Live Streamed on - 5/27/2026 Publish Date - 5/28/2026 We are less than 2 weeks away from GO Fest Chicago! This window of time is the funky period where some are getting ready to travel to GO Fest, while the majority of others are still ready to play and grind at home! We break down some of the details of the Chicago event as well as the Team Leader Summer Quests that we will have globally over the next few weeks. Being a live service game, Pokémon GO definitely doesn't have time to rest on its laurels, as Season 23 of the game has been unveiled. Forever Forward will be our next season, and by the look of the promotional video, Niantic is doubling down on their core value of exploration. From Trainers walking an adventuring, to images of remote Pokéstops, the game has positioned itself as a key motivator in keeping Trainers moving forward. We unpack what we know so far, and how GO Fest season will drive the first few weeks of the season, leading right into Global in mid-July. We also have our June Content Update, bringing back some Raid favorites like Necrozma and some Ultra Beasts. Frigibax has been announced as the June Community Day Pokémon, and we have a few events called out for the month. If IRL GO Fests are not in your future, there is still plenty to do in game and from home, which can be considered a long, winding road to GO Fest Global. We cover some random notes like the Pokémon Fossil Museum in Chicago and the release of Excavator Pikachu. This will likely be on all Chicago Trainer's bingo cards for the weekend. Pokémon GO has once again partnered with 100 Thieves to release some killer Mewtwo merch. We are hoping to get our hands on it, and ultimately give it away to the community.  We also run through our announced Chicago plans so far, including our Podcast Community Mixer with the GO Cast Podcast and our Pokémon Pop Punk night. We hope to have even more news to share by next week, and GO Fest will be here before you know it! Finally we reflect on how it has already been a year since the Scopely acquisition. We discuss our experiences working with Niantic and how our confidence in their goals has only increased since Scopely came in. If their 1 year promotional video doesn't get you going, I am not sure what will!

Dead trademarks create one of the most misunderstood areas of business law — and in this episode/article, we unpack why reviving an abandoned brand name can either become a brilliant strategic move or a costly legal disaster.Many entrepreneurs believe that once a trademark registration expires, the name instantly becomes available for anyone to use. Unfortunately, trademark law is nowhere near that simple. Businesses may still retain common law rights, consumer recognition, and ongoing commercial protections long after a federal registration becomes inactive.That means companies trying to revive dead trademarks can accidentally walk straight into lawsuits, cease-and-desist letters, forced rebrands, and expensive intellectual property disputes.In this discussion, we break down:What legally qualifies as a dead trademarkHow trademarks become abandonedWhen the USPTO may allow trademark revivalWhy common law trademark rights still matterThe biggest mistakes businesses make during branding searchesHow nostalgic brands are strategically revivedThe hidden risks of resurrecting old company namesWhy due diligence is essential before launching a revived brandWe also explore how nostalgia marketing has fueled renewed interest in abandoned trademarks. Across fashion, entertainment, gaming, food products, and technology, businesses increasingly search for forgotten brands that still hold consumer recognition.The logic is understandable.Building a recognizable brand from scratch is difficult and expensive. Reviving a familiar name may create instant emotional connection and marketplace attention.But nostalgia branding comes with risks.Some abandoned trademarks carry lingering legal claims. Others maintain regional usage that can still create enforceable rights. Some simply come with outdated reputations or historical baggage that modern consumers may rediscover quickly online.And then there's the issue of consumer confusion — one of the core concerns trademark law is designed to prevent.If customers mistakenly believe your revived company is affiliated with the original business, courts may become very interested in your branding strategy very quickly.This episode/article also explains why trademark law differs from many other forms of intellectual property. Trademark rights often depend heavily on actual marketplace use rather than registration alone. That creates complicated situations where “dead” registrations may still carry active legal consequences.For startups, entrepreneurs, marketers, and business owners, understanding these distinctions can prevent massive financial headaches later.Because discovering trademark problems after investing in websites, packaging, advertising, and product launches is significantly more painful than spending time on proper legal research upfront.Whether you're considering reviving an old trademark, evaluating a rebranding opportunity, or simply trying to avoid avoidable business mistakes, this conversation provides practical insights into one of the stranger corners of intellectual property law.It turns out that in business, some brands never fully die.They just wait for someone brave enough to dig them back up.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Lured Up Podcast 394: That's a Lot of Raids Live Streamed on - 5/19/2026 Publish Date - 5/22/2026 Video podcast now available on SPOTIFY! The Community is split on how they feel about the sheer volume of Raids we will be seeing during GO Fest Global. With 50 or so different Raid Bosses, Trainers were feeling like they may not have the amount of opportunities to Raid a specific Pokémon as they would like. Plus, with Mega Mewtwo only showing up at Super Mega Raid eligible Gyms, some min/maxers are a bit annoyed with the deep roster. This led to Niantic announcing that each of the rotating, 3 hour habitats will have a specific Mega and 5 Star Raid Pool. Even with this news, some Trainers are still feeling like the Raids will be overwhelming to manage, especially if they really have their sights set on Mega Mewtwo. Coming off the heels of successful Community Celebrations in cities like Philadelphia and Washington DC, Niantic is bringing a major wave of Celebration events across the globe. New York City is going to be a blast and both Ken and Adam will be in attendance on Saturday! It's going to be an incredible day of gameplay and we hope to see you there! After the break we jump into some gameplay including Community Day Classic: Deino and the upcoming Falinks Super Mega Raid Day.For the latter, we put together a little Raid Guide and Battle Party, with a flying spec Mega Rayquaza coming in as the best counter. Be sure to tag us on social using #BattleParty so we can see what you are bringing, as well as your best catches! Looking ahead in the calendar we have a trio of weekly events being announced with the Team Leader Summer Quests. We will see events run through the IRL Go Fest window, each themed around a different Team Leader with different spawn pools for each. One thing worth noting is that the first of the three events takes place in what many presumed was another event-less week in May, but, SURPRISE! Niantic has blocked out the week, which reminds us of how great it can be when the game can actually surprise us. Sometimes, it's better to not know all the information up front!

Can you trademark an idea? It's one of the most common — and costly — misunderstandings entrepreneurs make when building a business.In this deep dive, we unpack the real differences between trademarks, patents, copyrights, and trade secrets so business owners can stop guessing and start protecting their intellectual property strategically.Many founders assume that simply having an idea creates ownership rights. Unfortunately, intellectual property law doesn't work that way. A trademark protects your brand identity — things like names, logos, slogans, and recognizable symbols used in commerce. Patents protect inventions and processes. Copyrights protect creative works like articles, videos, podcasts, software code, and books. Trade secrets protect confidential systems and proprietary information.Understanding these distinctions matters far more than most startups realize.In today's business environment, intangible assets often become more valuable than physical products. Strong branding, original content, innovative systems, and proprietary strategies can all create competitive advantages — but only if they're protected correctly.This episode explores:✅ Why ideas alone usually aren't legally protected✅ The difference between trademarks and patents✅ How copyrights actually work✅ Why startups should care about intellectual property early✅ Common mistakes entrepreneurs make with branding✅ How large companies aggressively protect IP✅ Why execution matters more than ideas✅ The hidden risks of waiting too long to file protectionsWe also discuss famous intellectual property battles involving companies like Apple, Samsung, Starbucks, Disney, Nike, and Coca-Cola — all of which demonstrate how powerful intellectual property strategy can become in highly competitive industries.One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that intellectual property law is not simply about legal defense. It's about business strategy.The companies that win long term are often the ones that combine:Strong brandingClear differentiationConsistent customer trustStrategic innovationProper legal protectionIronically, many entrepreneurs spend more time worrying about “someone stealing their idea” than actually building a memorable brand or scalable business system.The reality is this:Ideas are common.Execution is rare.A startup with mediocre ideas but outstanding execution often outperforms businesses with brilliant ideas and weak operational strategy.This episode also addresses the emotional side of entrepreneurship. Founders naturally feel protective of ideas they've invested time, energy, and passion into. But understanding how the legal system actually views ideas can help entrepreneurs make smarter decisions about growth, marketing, branding, and product development.Whether you're launching a startup, building a personal brand, creating content, developing software, or scaling an established company, understanding intellectual property fundamentals is critical in today's marketplace.Because protecting your business properly is usually much cheaper than fighting legal battles later.And honestly, if your entire intellectual property strategy currently consists of “I emailed myself the idea once,” it may be time for an upgrade.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

In today's digital economy, where brand identity is both a strategic asset and a frequent target of infringement, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming indispensable in trademark enforcement. Serving as both sword and shield, AI is transforming how legal professionals anticipate disputes, monitor brand usage and enforce intellectual property rights across complex digital environments.Questions and Comments: skayser@bakerlaw.com and tdroberts@bakerlaw.com

"On April 16 2026 A federal jury in Manhattan found that Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation have been acting as a monopoly. The case is wide ranging involving 33 states and the District of Columbia. Live Nation will not appeal any of the verdicts. We will discuss what is a monopoly and what these decisions could mean for the future."

Send us Fan MailA great brand can be stolen quietly, one search result at a time, until your customers can't tell who's real anymore. That's why we sit down with trademark attorney Justin Clark, who helps business owners protect the names and logos they've worked so hard to build, especially as marketing gets more digital and competition gets tighter.We dig into the biggest misconception we see in small business branding: that using a name, registering an LLC, or buying a domain automatically protects you. Justin explains the difference between common law trademark rights and a federal USPTO trademark registration, why nationwide protection matters even if you only sell locally today, and how a trademark search can save you from an expensive rebrand after you've already invested in websites, signage, and customer awareness.Then we get practical about intellectual property and online brand protection. We compare trademarks vs copyright vs domain ownership, talk through who actually owns a logo when a designer creates it, and why contracts and assignments matter when you grow, sell, or get acquired. We also cover the real risk of using images, fonts, or designs you “found online,” plus what changes when you expand into multiple states or franchising and need consistent brand standards.If you want to protect your shed business brand, construction brand, or local service brand the right way, hit play, subscribe, share this with a business owner, and leave a review.

A Magikarp promo in Korea drew a massive crowd, led to the Pokémon Mega Festa distribution being shut down, and quickly became another example of how strange Pokémon promo hunting has become. We start this week's episode talking about that situation, the frustration around limited promos, and why trying to get special cards from places like GameStop or major events can feel more stressful than fun. From there, Adam catches us up on his recent card show run. We talk about what it was like vending and buying, the cards he was hunting for, the deals he found, and the moments where walking away made more sense. There are vintage pickups, VS Series cards, Shining Steelix, dollar-bin goals, pricing frustrations, and a lot of talk about what the card show floor feels like right now. We also get into a few collecting rabbit holes, including hidden cameo cards, Growlithe showing up where Justin did not expect, artist collections, GigaDex-style collecting, and different ways to enjoy Pokémon cards in 2026. To close things out, we touch on Chaos Rising prerelease weekend, the LA Regional meta, Dragapult's huge share of the field, Adam's case for Cynthia's Garchomp, and a few ACE SPEC cards that have quietly become much more expensive.

Lured Up Podcast 393 Live Streamed on - 5/5/2026 Publish Date - 5/8/2026 Listen to this episode ad free on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PokemonProfessor  We are very excited to welcome LandorAlpha back to the show! We have known Joe for many years and have been a major fan of his from the beginning. His dedication to creating content that combines entertainment and information with incredible production value and a positive focus has earned him the respect of many core Trainers in the community. He covers the game with a positive lens, focusing on gameplay, community, and of course, the grind. We start of by learning about his approach to content, and how he has recently added a community focus to his gameplay experiences, which in our opinion, is the perfect compliment to his content style. Capturing the community experience, along with creating memories off camera, brings an organic feel and a relatable perspective. Like us, Lando feels that the future of this game is in the hands of new Trainers, which is why being there to foster a great experience is so important. You wouldn't expect it after watching some LandorAlpha content, but he is creating part time, as he still works full time outside of his content. This brings a unique motive and workflow that makes you think and consider things differently. When TikTok was off the app store for a few days, it was a direct blow to his content. This created an epiphany of understanding that while you may be creating the content, it is the platform that holds all the chips.  Enter, Spawn Point, LandorAlpha's weekly Pokémon GO Newsletter. A project that not only provides valuable info to Trainers worldwide, but one that is completely owned an operated by Joe. This security is important and shows the street smart approach to protecting content. We relate to this and admire how he has rolled this project out, making it exceptionally easy for Trainers to sign up. The newsletters provide complete game and event information for the week, while also aggregating all relevant and important links in a single place. After the break we talk GO Fest and how the IRL experience is like no other. Looking back on some of our favorite GO Memories and GO Fest stories. We rate our favorite park and city experience cities, and start the hype train for Chicago.  Make sure you connect with LandorAlpha on all of his platforms, and be sure to subscribe to the newsletter!

We did in to her history with the Pokémon franchise, and how a career in digital marketing transfers skills to content creation. Ashlee shares what her favorite ways to play the game are, and how understanding gameboard mechanics create a better environment for everyone to play in. The importance of Wayfarer is present in most of Ashlee's content. We discuss how Wayfinders end up having “Wayfarer” goggles on at all times, and when out doing some standard grinding, everything can be a potential Wayspot. She highlights how a single Wayfinder can have a dramatic impact on a location. It speaks to how important Wayfinders are to the overall game board experience, and how more Trainers should get involved in the process.

It seems the divide between sentiment towards the game is widening. One one hand you have the Trainers that spend a lot of time on platforms like X. They may not have or do not engage with their local Campfire Communities so much of their PGO social interaction is actually para-social. This crowd has been sharing feelings of being unsatisfied with the state of the game. With monthly content updates going from a full disclosure of the month's events to having as few as one announced, is festering feelings of boredom and stagnation. Talks of the game feeling dead and not exciting will show up in most PGO feeds on X, even without searching it out. On the other hand, you have exceptionally robust in-person communities with active Campfires and plenty of meetups. In NJ we are seeing meetups increase in both frequency and turnout. Trainers are engaged and active and the vibes are always excellent. So how could both of these completely opposite takes exist at the same time? On paper they seem as if they are talking about completely different games? There is plenty to unpack and we do our best to find validation where it is warranted. From a news perspective, we have a TON to get through as we speedrun through the May calendar. We have Entei Shadow Raid Day this weekend, followed by the Spring Marathon and Community Day Classic: Deino. Phalanx Super Mega Raid Day takes us up to GO Fest Japan, making this month still pretty packed with action. We also had some fresh news from Niantic about a new branching Timed Research that Trainers will get for free during weeks without an in-game event. Things like Skill, Exploration, and Raiding will all be options to pursue in this new Research. While we don't expect the rewards to be anything crazy, we do think this will be a nice push to supplement some Evergreen Week gameplay. The big news of the week is all about  the debut of Mega Mewtwo at GO Fest. It will set a new precedent for split Mega Evolving Pokémon, which will soon require require specific Mega Energy for each evolution. We now have a ton more info about GO Fests including the rotating spawn pools by type during extended, 9 hour event gameplay days. Things are beginning to look incredible and we are still over a month away. We are so ready for GO FEST!

Justin is joined by guest host Lane for a wide-ranging episode of Special Conditions covering the collector side, the player side, and the “wait, what just happened?” side of Pokémon TCG. Lane shares what it's like working at a card store during modern product drops, while Justin talks Collect-A-Con pickups, Arcanine binder goals, and the continued explosion of Pokémon 151 prices. Then it's time to look at the post-rotation format. The crew talks Okidogi single-prize decks, Festival Lead, Dragapult's early dominance, upcoming Regional Championships, and the rise of “Slop Box” — or as Lane puts it, Good Stuff: The Deck. They also dig into Chaos Rising preorders, Pokémon Center queue survival, and why getting product online still feels like its own competitive format.
