Episode 26 - This is a replay of an interview that I did on another podcast I produce called Business In Real Life. Our guest is an intellectual property attorney and the information was great for business owners. Since you, the business of insurance podcast listener might be working with other business owners, or you might be a business owner yourself, I thought I would share the episode here. It\u2019s so important to understand why intellectual property needs to be protected and why it needs to be done correctly. You\u2019ve heard me say this more than one, but position yourself as an advisor to your clients. And as an advisor, it\u2019s important to know about IP law. How insurance protects and doesn\u2019t protect, although we don\u2019t discuss the insurance aspect here. In the beginning of the recording, I talk about some real cases. Make sure your clients aren\u2019t making the same mistakes. If you are an agent looking to create content, this is a topic not a lot of people are talking about, but it\u2019s really important! Radiance Harris has been practicing IP law for nearly a decade. She is different than many attorneys because her pricing is based on packages. Decide what you need and you can see on her website what it will cost you. It\u2019s a unique model for a law firm and we talk about why she set up her practice this way as well. QUESTIONS WE ASK RADIANCE What is intellectual property? Why does a company need to protect their IP What happens if a company just puts a \u2122 after their content?
