This is a joint work by Doug and Brian. Brian is on voice. Doug edited and typed. Technically speaking, I'm still on hiatus, though I do have a back catalog of shows that need editing. I may very well get those out the door in the next few days.

I'm not entirely sure what took me so long to get this out. Maybe archive.org was down when I tried to upload it back in January?

Originally, this was supposed to be a series. It still might be. The other planned articles in the trademark basics series were going to be What is a Trademark?, Ownership and Use, Loss of Trademark Rights, Infringement, False Designation of Origin, Advertising, Dilution and Remedies. I was also planning to cover Tax and Trademarks/Goodwill, Trademarks and Ethnic Music, and Access to Gray Market Goods at some point. If I get donations or even requests, I may end up completing the series. Donation information is both on the right and at the bottom of this article.

And for those of you that are deaf, and I know there is at least one likely to see this, in the future the series may be text. I've got to figure out financials before I think about continuing the series. However, as with everything, feedback will speed up the process!

Until next time!

Not Quite an Episode

This is a rerun of the Music Manumit Podcast on July 7th, 2010. This was supposed to go out before Nick and I did the interview with Pete, but it didn't. Better late than never. And just in case you're curious, I'm still technically on hiatus.
