So we look at card E B 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: and she trademarked her signature line you want to say 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: the line, I gotta say it, so she trademar she 23 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: trademarked that. Then we had the Jordan logo, the Jumpman logo. 24 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: That was an interesting situation where the original photographer of 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: that photo sued Nike because they pretty much kind of 26 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: copied his photo some people think they did, yeah, and 27 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: he lost the lawsuit on that. And then we also 28 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: have the Fortnite case right where Fortnite, if anybody is 29 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: not familiar, is the most popular video game in the 30 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: world right now, and they do all these different dances 31 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: and the creators of these dances were never compensated for it, 32 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: so they sued Fortnite and it's actually still in litigation, 33 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: but it's pretty complicated. So it's one thing to be 34 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: a creative and to create, right, It's another thing to 35 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: actually own what you create and to be able to 36 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: make money off of it.

And what intellectual property is. It's like 68 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 6: something that you create with your mind. Right, It's like 69 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 6: a creative express and those different areas are areas that 70 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 6: you could create you could protect your your creative expression, right. 71 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 5: So a patent is a protection that you get for 72 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 5: an invention. 73 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 6: So if you have something that's new, that's innovative, that's 74 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 6: going to change the way that people you know, live 75 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 6: and work technology, those things are patentable and they're very technical, right, 76 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 6: so you actually need to be a patent attorney to 77 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 6: practice patent law. But those things are gonna patent are 78 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 6: going to protect inventions. Copyrights are going to protect literary works. 79 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 6: So certain things that you that you create, but it 80 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 6: has to be expressed so it can be an idea. 81 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 6: So intellectual property can't be an idea. You can't protect 82 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 6: an idea, so you have to like express it. So 83 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 6: if it's a writing a story, you got to write 84 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 6: it down. If it's a song, you have to write 85 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 6: the lyrics or you could record the music. If it's art, 86 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 6: you gotta draw, you know, it has to be drawn 87 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 6: or whatever. It has to be spress, so somebody. 88 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: Could that's that's for trademarks. That's for copy copyright trademarks. 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 6: And trademark is basically is gonna gonna bring somebody back 90 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 6: to the source of a good or service, right, So 91 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 6: it represents your business, your brand, and it's going to 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 6: put the public on notice to know like where to 93 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 6: go for that particular product or item. So there's two reasons. One, 94 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 6: you want to protect your your sort of like your work. 95 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 5: Right, So you create. 96 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 6: Something, you have a business, you put all this sweat 97 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 6: equity into it, and you have like goodwill. 98 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 5: You know, as your brand. 99 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 6: Grows, they expect a certain quality, is a certain standard 100 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 6: from your brand. So you want that to be protected 101 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 6: so you can make money off of it. And then 102 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 6: the government, the Copyright and Trademark Office, they want to 103 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 6: make sure that somebody gets hurt from your product or. 104 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 5: Your service, that they know who to go to for 105 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 5: that right company. 106 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: So like the Fortnite when they were trying to do 107 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: the dance moves, that's a cop copyright issue, right, yes, 108 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: And it's a copyright issue because I just want everybody 109 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: to understand because legal jargon can be a little confusing. Yeah, right, 110 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: and even for like I'm in business and I'm kind 111 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: of confused by like copyrights and trademarks. So all right, So, well, 112 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: the dance moves is a copyright because that's something that 113 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: it's like a physical thing that they made up, right. 114 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 6: So they like they created it, and it's yeah, it's 115 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 6: something like physical that they did. It's like a creative 116 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 6: expression like choreography, you know, dance moves. And there's going 117 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 6: to be an issue even with that when they go 118 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 6: to copyright those because from what I understand, all fonds 119 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 6: of very Yeah. So he already got denied because they 120 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 6: said it's only three moves, like it's not enough to 121 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 6: be choreography. 122 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 5: And I think that's gonna that's gonna. 123 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 6: Sort of change the way the law is because like 124 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 6: now everything is media, everyone has a camera, everyone's like 125 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 6: creating dances, doing all this type of stuff that has 126 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 6: to be protected somehow. 127 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 3: So like when black boy Ja he does that move 128 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 3: and the kids just recreated that's not really choreography what 129 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,239 Speaker 3: they're saying. 130 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, so that that that's going to be an I 131 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 6: think that's an issue that's up for discussion. 132 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: And then all right, son. So then so then the trademark, 133 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: like the Jordan logo, that's a trademark, right. 134 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 6: So in that case they sued for copyright because the 135 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 6: person who took it was a photographer, so photography, it's 136 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 6: a picture that's going to be something that's going to 137 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 6: be copyrightable. So they're suing for the photo that that 138 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 6: what was it that Nike did the comparable comparable photo 139 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 6: but also comes into questions because now they use that 140 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 6: as a logo, right, But he lost because they said 141 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 6: it's really not substantially Yeah, And it's interesting. 142 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 7: I think they said that the track suit it was. 143 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: The backdrop in the picture. The suit and the photos 144 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: are slightly different. And it's interesting too because people were saying, well, 145 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: you can't take credit for an image, but you actually 146 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: can though, because I remember when Cameron had the album 147 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're a Cameron fan, but we're 148 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: Cameron fans. Yeah, an album called SDE a while ago, 149 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: and the logo was the NBA logo, which is Jerry 150 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: West but instead of like the basketball, it actually had 151 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: like a firearm in his hands. So the NBA wasn't 152 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: too happy about that, so they shut it down and 153 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: he couldn't use it. So it's just interesting to see that, 154 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: you know, somebody can come up with an idea, but 155 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: if they don't actually do the right legal steps to 156 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: somebody else can kind of take the idea and now 157 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: they own it, right. 158 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 5: And that's what's been happening for years. 159 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 6: Like people who are ignorant to this type of protection 160 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 6: that it exists, they just create stuff. 161 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 5: And people who know they take it. And you know, 162 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 5: just like all of the. 163 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 6: Artists that came like you know in the eighties, nineties, sixties, 164 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 6: like they didn't know that they had an actual you know, 165 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 6: ass that someone else is making money off. 166 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: And that's who we want to really because especially in 167 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: our community, like we're very creative. We're creative people, but 168 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: we don't always understand the business side of things and 169 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: how to monetize it in the legal steps to take. 170 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: So like you said, I mean, we'll make it and 171 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: create it and then somebody else will take it and 172 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: now they actually own it, right. So if somebody wants 173 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: to actually go about setting it up right, like what's 174 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: the steps of legally copywriting something or trademarking or if 175 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: they don't know the difference. Should they do it via 176 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: a lawyer, can they do it themselves online? What's your advice? 177 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 6: Okay, So well, one, I have to give a disclaimer, 178 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 6: So for anybody who's listening, what I say is. 179 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 5: For information only. I'm not your lawyer unless. 180 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 3: You hire me. 181 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 5: Let's have to say that. But so if they want to, 182 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 5: So the thing is, you should always hire a lawyer. 183 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 6: Because just with anything, like if there's somebody who's an 184 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 6: expert in the field, you want to kind of rely 185 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 6: on that person's expertise for nuances and things like that. 186 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 5: But that being said, you can do it yoursel out. 187 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 6: Like for copyrights, you could go on copyright dot Gov 188 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 6: and you kind of they make it really easy for you. 189 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 6: So they kind of lay out what are you trying 190 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 6: to copyright? Is it you know, music? Is it a 191 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 6: book or something? 192 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 7: Is it? 193 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 6: So they give you the options and then you select 194 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 6: and they kind of walk you through the application process 195 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 6: and you could kind of click on stuff that will 196 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 6: give you like explanations like if you're confused as to 197 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 6: what they're asking. 198 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 5: So that's that with copyright. With trademark it's a little 199 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 5: bit more technical. 200 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 6: So again I do think you should get a lawyer, 201 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 6: but their website has tons of videos on how to 202 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 6: do it. 203 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 5: It gets overwhelming. 204 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 6: But if you feel like, you know, I want to 205 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 6: protect my stuff and I just don't have the money 206 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 6: to invest in the attorney, they have videos that you 207 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 6: could look at, and it's also sort of like you 208 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 6: could you could be walked through the process, but the 209 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 6: search is a little more tricky because it's just so 210 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 6: much to go through, and their website is not really 211 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 6: set up to give you like comprehensive results, like you 212 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 6: could type in Starbucks with two S two s's at 213 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 6: the end. You know, two s's at the end, and 214 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 6: nothing will come up, you know what I mean. So, 215 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 6: but if you put it you know exactly how it's spelled. 216 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 6: Of course tons of stuff will come up, but you know. 217 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 6: So that's how you can see how it's not that, 218 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 6: you know, it's not that easy for someone who is 219 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 6: just a lay person to do it, but it's possible, 220 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 6: you know what I mean. O. 221 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: Speaking speaking of a trademark, we actually behind the scenes 222 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 3: were talking about a trademark case that people may be 223 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: not familiar with, but it involves some like a high 224 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 3: profile person Jay Z versus Iconics And for those who 225 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 3: don't know what who are Iconics brand is, they're actually 226 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 3: the company he sold Rockaway too. 227 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 7: You want to touch on that a little bit. 228 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, So jay Z sold his Rockaway brand, his 229 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 6: clothing brand, to Iconics, right, and they're like a big 230 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 6: clothing company. 231 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 5: They own a bunch of different you know, clothing lines. 232 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 6: And so they ended up suing jay Z because he 233 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 6: has rock Nation and they're like, well, you sold us this, 234 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 6: you know, it adds some value to it, and now 235 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 6: you're still using it essentially like you use your Rognation 236 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 6: so and that that brand is already associated with you, 237 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 6: so it's diminishing our value. 238 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 5: And so they had. 239 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 6: A lawsuit, you know, and they were going back and 240 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 6: forth and they actually ended up in arbitration. 241 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 7: Arbitration. Yeah, so the arbitration. 242 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: The arbitration process is like the really crazy part of 243 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: the story because during that process he finds out that hey, 244 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 3: there's no diversity in the arbitrators and he like files 245 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 3: a suit for that and he wins yes, and yeah. 246 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 6: So he so so, okay, arbitration process is sort of 247 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 6: like an outside of court process. 248 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: I was going to say, because people that might not 249 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: know what arbitration. 250 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 6: Is Yeah, So in most contracts, especially like when it 251 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 6: comes to business, there's going to be an arbitration clause. 252 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 6: So they don't want to have to go to court 253 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 6: like the normal avenue go to court and have a 254 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 6: judge a side. They just they rather go to like 255 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 6: basically like a boardroom and have someone who's an arbitrator 256 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 6: sit and listen to everybody who's like specializes in that 257 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 6: area or whatever. So the parties get to choose who 258 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 6: that arbitrated is going to be, Like they get a list, 259 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 6: they get to vet and agree on who that person 260 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 6: is going to be or maybe a few people they'll choose. 261 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 6: And so what jay Z said is that, wait, there's 262 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 6: nobody of color on this list. 263 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 5: There was like I think there. 264 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 6: Were like two people of a hundred, yeah, something like that, 265 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 6: and so he was like, no, I'm not doing this. 266 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 5: So he basically said I'm not going to. 267 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 6: Go forward with the arbitration, went to court, and actually 268 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 6: before the judge made of decision, the company was like, 269 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 6: you know what, We're going to make sure that we 270 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 6: do right and go out and get more you know, 271 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 6: African American and other people of color to be able to. 272 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 7: Make indirectly providing opportunities for people of. 273 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 5: Absolutely like he changed the game, like he does. 274 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 7: So many levels. 275 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: Every time we like Jane to the rescue again, we've 276 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: kept our streak of talking about We've been consistent mandatory. 277 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Well, one other thing before we go 278 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: to the next segment, can you just briefly talk about 279 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: licensing and with that entails. 280 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:03,359 Speaker 6: So when you own these different types of intellectual property, patent, copyright, trademarks, 281 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 6: the way that most people kind of really make money 282 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 6: from them is that they license them to other people 283 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 6: to use them.

Right. 366 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 7: Two things you may. 367 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: Know a a thirty year court case between the Beatles 368 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: in Apple right, crazy, So the Beatles, right and seventies 369 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: minutes seventies nineteen seventy eight. Well, I think before that 370 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: they started a company called Apple Corp. Right. Apple Corp 371 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: Was a holding company. It had a couple different uses, 372 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: but the main thing was like, they're in house record label. Right. 373 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: I don't know why they decided to name Apple, but 374 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: that was the name Apple Corp. 375 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 5: That's interesting. 376 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: So in nineteen seventy seven, George Harrison. You know what 377 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: George Harrison is? 378 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 7: The Beatle of course. 379 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: Well, nobody really knows him. He's the Beatle that you 380 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,719 Speaker 1: never heard of, right, most people never heard of him. 381 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: So he hit his ironic because nobody's heard of him, 382 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: and he heard of a company that nobody's heard of 383 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: that just started out in nineteen seventy seven around that time, 384 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: called Apple Inc. So he says, okay, this is pretty interesting. 385 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: It's a company called Apple. Right. So he goes to 386 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: Apple Corp. The Beatles Company, and he tells them about 387 00:19:54,680 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: a company called Apple Inc. Right, So the Beatles Apple Corp. 388 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: Suits Apple Inc. Because they're using the trademark name Apple. 389 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: They already trademarked the name Apple, can't use it. So 390 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty one they settled a lawsuit for eighty 391 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Right. An interesting thing is that part of 392 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: the settlement is that Apple Corp. The Beatles Company agreed 393 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: to never go into the computer business. Apple Inc. Steve 394 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: Jobs Company agreed to never go into the music business. 395 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 7: We're going to to stay in your lank lane. 396 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: They could both use Apple, but they have to stay 397 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: in their lank Okay. So it's going pretty good for 398 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: a couple of years, and then nineteen eighty six Apple 399 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: comes out with musical instrument Digital Interface. Right, Yes, I 400 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: was good. 401 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 7: That was good. 402 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: So that you want to talk about that, I. 403 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 3: Can briefly touch it. So that's just a sound chip 404 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 3: in the canter. So this is before you gotta think 405 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 3: within eighties now, So like this is like computers. They're 406 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 3: not even in color. It's just like the green typing. 407 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 3: So he's putting a sound chip in the computer. They're 408 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: looking at it like, wait, sound, that could be music. 409 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: It could be music because the music it's about to say. 410 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 5: Something I was gonna say. I think. 411 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 6: It also allowed them to the computers to communicate with music. 412 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: Leang, yes, yes, yes, yes it did, so it allowed it. 413 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: It's kind of like the beginning stages of putting music 414 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: on a computer. So he said, hey, you're not so fast. 415 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: You promised you promised not to do is Oh you 416 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: brought your promise. So now they suit him again, right, 417 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six they sued him, so in nineteen ninety 418 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: one they settled for twenty six million dollars. Right, but 419 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: they did something that was very petty at the time. 420 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: So they they're nineteen ninety one Macintosh Alert. The name 421 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: is Sumo and it's pronounced so soon. So it's like 422 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: a kind of like you know, and it predicts what's 423 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: going to happen in the future, right, like saying like so. 424 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 3: So that was part of the sampling of sound on 425 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 3: the operating system. So like they had a new operating system. 426 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 3: Now you can sample sound again that sounds like music, 427 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: We're gonna have to sue. 428 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 429 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 7: No. 430 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: So then this is where the big cakes comes in, right, 431 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: two thousand and three the launch of iTunes. So they 432 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: just said, okay, we're not even gonna play around anymore. 433 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: We're going in the music business right soon. Too much 434 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: money out here not to be get. We're not going 435 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: to be stopped by the Beatles, right, so they go 436 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: into full fledged with iTunes. So of course Apple Corp. 437 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: The beetle company, right. 438 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: But they suit them this time because of the logo. 439 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 3: So like their logo is an actual green apple, and 440 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: the iTunes logo was an Apple that had like a 441 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 3: little piece bitten out of it. So it was like, wait, 442 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 3: that looks like our. 443 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: Logo partially the logo but also the music is well 444 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. So but that case lasted to two thousand 445 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: and seven and Apple actually won that case. Right. So 446 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: now Apple Inc. Owns the trade marks to Apple, right, 447 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: but they licensed out a certain you know, they licensed 448 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: out trademarks back to Apple Corp. Nobody really knows the 449 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: terms of the deal, but it's said that they settled 450 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: for five hundred million dollars. So Apple Inc. Paid Apple Corp. 451 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: Five hundred million dollars and they finally were done with 452 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: it after thirty years. And it's ironic because now the 453 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: Beatles when So when Steve Jobs, he used he was 454 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: a big Beatles fan, right, huge, and he was disappointed 455 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: that they couldn't get the Beatles on iTunes because of 456 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: this thirty year case. Right So now when I think 457 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: it was his two thousand and seven speech. 458 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 3: It's Keno address in two thousand and seven. He intros 459 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 3: it by coming into the Beatles music, so the crowd 460 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 3: is like, oh wait, we're about to get Beatles' music. 461 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 3: He has Paul McCartney playing February two thousand and they 462 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 3: settle and they released Beatles' music, but as solo artists, 463 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: so Jeorge Harrison's solo music, John Lennon, Paul McCartney. 464 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 7: I don't think Ringo had it out. Did Ringle have al? 465 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 7: I don't know. He might, I don't know. 466 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: So their solo catalogs were released, and then three years later, 467 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 3: in twenty ten, I believe November twenty ten, the Beatles 468 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: catalog comes to Eyes Tunes, which is like a big 469 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 3: moment because that catalog is ridiculous. 470 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: You know, Michael Jackson owned the Beatles catalog. 471 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 7: ATV. 472 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: It's another conversation. So why are we telling your story 473 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: because it's interested in a and also it is highlights 474 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: the power of trademarks. Right, So the Beatles made almost 475 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: six hundred million dollars they made between the three cases, 476 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: they made five hundred and twenty nine million, right, kind 477 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: of by accident because they just randomly picked the name Apple, 478 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: I pretty sure, right, And they didn't really have any 479 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: intentions of Apple Corp. To like be a multi billion 480 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: dollar company. They was like the house thing, right. 481 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 7: I'm not sure what music came out on Apple Records. 482 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: I don't think any music came out. 483 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 6: I think they just ended up owning all the Beatles' music. 484 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 6: And like you said, they had other businesses underneath their 485 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 6: like tax shelters exactly. 486 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, So just from having the luck of the draw 487 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: and picking and picking a good name. But more importantly 488 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: than picking a good name, they trademarked the name, right, 489 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: because they could have picked the name and then trade 490 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: like so how many businesses and companies And we're going 491 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 1: back to the fortnite thing where we have good ideas, 492 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: but that one step changes the dynamic five hundred million dollars. Right, 493 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: So people say a lot of times it's like, well 494 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: it's expensive to trademark, or I don't have the money. 495 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: Well you either spend five hundred dollars to trademark or 496 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: five hundred million. 497 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 7: Recorder could do that. 498 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: You could have gotten if you did trademarket, right. 499 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 7: I think like that's what we saw. Fifty did that. 500 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 3: When he started to get the strap campaign, it was 501 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 3: like wait, oh, people really like this trade monkey, this is. 502 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 5: Mine, Yeah, somebody want to use it. 503 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: Going back to Cameron, he's notorious for that. He trademarks everything. 504 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: Remember when him and Jim Jones. 505 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 3: Had to you know what that that that's a sad story. 506 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: Well they made it, they rectified it. 507 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, it was over burg Gang. 508 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: He trademark Bergen just in case, Yes, just in case. 509 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: So if anybody's a Diplomat fan, you know. 510 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 7: What, anybody from the early two thousands. 511 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: So it was like something that they were just saying. 512 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: It was like it wasn't like an official thing because 513 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: they would dipset Diplomat. Then the burg Gang was like 514 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: just something that they just came up with, right. But 515 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: then Jim Jones actually had a crew, like a offset 516 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: of Dipset that he was calling Burgang right then. I 517 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: think he had like bird Gang records and oh he's 518 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: going full Fletcher disc and Cameron without actually notifying him 519 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: trademarks the name. So Jesus, he's no longer allowed to 520 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: use burg Gang unless he pays Cameron. 521 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 7: That's what friends are for, exactly when you see something. 522 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: It's also rumored that he trademarked jelly Fan. 523 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 7: That's yeah, yeah, yeah, recently recently. 524 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's true or not. 525 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 3: Shout out the jelly Fan. He just actually transferre from 526 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 3: Minnesota when going I don't know yet. 527 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 7: He just left. He did two years at Minnesota and 528 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 7: now he's. 529 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: Transferring Isaiah Washington. If anybody is not a basketball fan 530 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: New York City street ball legend, not even a street 531 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: ball legend, not just a legend basketball basketball legend. Who 532 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: he he He had a crew called Jellyfan, huge. 533 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 7: Trademark by his the move man that layup that open 534 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 7: finger roll layup. 535 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, people might not be basketball fans, but I 536 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: heard that kim On because the interesting thing about that, 537 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: so the kid was in high school right and he 538 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: created a huge buzz for himself in high school, like 539 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: all throughout the city. Then it went national now with 540 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: social media, went all over the world where you got 541 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: kids saying jelly fam and it's like a finger roll 542 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: and it's like it just went viral. So then Nike 543 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: started printing up shirts. But the jelly fan sure, and 544 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: of course, of course he's not getting paid for he's 545 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: in high school. 546 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 3: I think Nike spot might be a sponsor for the 547 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 3: Saint Raymonds so like they felt like we had a connection. 548 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 7: He played for Saint Raymonds. 549 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he came up with the idea. So it's 550 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: all going back to Apple, right, whereas we can relate 551 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: this on small left, like that's a perfect example jelly fan. Right. 552 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: I don't know the rules if he could actually trademarket 553 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: it not since he's in high school and it's rules 554 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: against the basketball places. But long story short, Nike did 555 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: that and they made money off of it, right, right, 556 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: So and if. 557 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 5: He didn't protect it, then he can't really do that 558 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 5: until police against Now it's too late. Now it was 559 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 5: too late. 560 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 6: Well if he can, if they didn't protect it, he 561 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 6: could still protect it and then they would still have 562 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 6: to pay him for using it. If they're still continuing 563 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 6: to make money off of it, right, But if you 564 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 6: don't protect it, then you have no way of really, 565 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 6: so what registration does. 566 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 5: It allows you to basically sue and be able to recover. 567 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 6: So like with the fortnite ks, how they had to 568 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 6: pull out of the case because they didn't properate anything, 569 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 6: and so it's like, okay, the government's like are the 570 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 6: federal court is like, well, if you didn't copyright it, 571 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 6: then you can't police against it, so you need to 572 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 6: go do that, and so. 573 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 5: They pulled out. 574 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 6: But if they do, if they are successful with their copyright, 575 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 6: then they will be able to sue them. 576 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 7: For you see, like celebrities are doing that, like when 577 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 7: they have children. Now it's like the. 578 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 3: First thing they do is I'm copyrighting that name, I think. 579 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 3: But they lost that because there was an event planning 580 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 3: company called Blue Ivy. 581 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 6: Though they're still fighting it doesn't does an event plan 582 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 6: or she she has a company named Blue Ivy, and 583 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 6: so you know, Beyonce's a beast with her game.

The power of trademarks. 587 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: You have to understand the law of people is one thing. 588 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: To play the game is another thing. To play the 589 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: game smart and efficiently. You don't have to be the 590 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: smartest player to win.
