Trademarks, Copyrights, Intellectual Property Law for Small Business Owners with Brian Hanning

Hello!

Welcome to the Analytive Podcast. Today for our guest I have Brian Hanning. Brian is a lawyer specializing in business-related law.

I asked Brian to come on the podcast for two reasons: First, as a business owner, I had questions about many of the legal aspects of running a business. Brian was gracious with his time, and I’m grateful for his ability to explain complex legal topics simply. If you’re starting or running a small business, this is a great foundation.

The second reason I wanted to have him on is: I get a lot of questions from other entrepreneurs about corporate formation, trademarks, and other business-related issues. I’m by no means an expert, so this interview with Brian is something I hope to pass along to them.

Here’s the deal: If you’re curious about forming an LLC, whether you should get a trademark, and other types of legal questions, you should listen to this podcast. If nothing else, it will give you a solid foundation that could potentially save you hours of time talking to a lawyer (which also means hundreds of dollars at their billable rate).

We’re doing this episode in a two-part series.

Part 1 Focuses on corporate formation, types of legal entities, and other foundational information. We also briefly discuss trusts and we take a rabbit trail into how people around the world are using shady tactics to hide business activity.

In Part 2 we dive into IP protection including trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property issues. We talk about when you should and should not think about filing the various types of intellectual production as well as what you might expect to reasonably pay.

If you do have business legal needs, be sure to reach out to Brian. He can be found at ThatDamnLawyer.com. Props for a great domain name, Brian.

He is the recipient of Outstanding Achievement: Inventor of the Year University of Colorado, for his innovative work in machine learning. He is the recipient of the Diversity & Inclusiveness Award; “Innovations in Scholarship for Inclusiveness” and the recipient of Outstanding Achievement: Teacher of the Year.

Dr. Lewis has delivered keynote addresses at i)The Sixth International Conference on Neuroscience & Cognitive Brain Information BRAININF0, Nice, France. The Role of Computational Neuroscience Machine Intelligence in Sentience, Common Sense and Artificial Consciousness. Nice, France, 2021. ii) The Convergence of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things. The role of DNNs, GPUs and artificial consciousness on the future of the IoT. Nov 28-29, 2017 Palo Alto, CA, where Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, was in the audience, and at iii) The 2nd Annual Autonomous Capabilities for DoD Summit Sept 19-20, 2018 in Maryland where he addressed Deputy Chief of Staffs, generals and high level DoD officials on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotic Sentience and Artificial Consciousness, comparing research in these areas in academia and industry compared to the DoD see here.

Dr. Lewis’ research is applying sentient, common sense knowledge and consciousness to i) cybersecurity, ii) the Intelligence community and iii) robots. Herein, cybersecurity can emulate, for example, both the human common sense and cyber knowledge of 10 million computer science cybersecurity experts all over the net. Similarly, a military robot can depend on both its AI and its human sentience operating systems to test each other’s intellect and the consequences of their locomotor functions – more like humans, and consequently save lives in the intelligence community, the battlefield and hospitals.
