Whiskey and smartphones – Podcast: June 2012
IP battles over whiskey and smartphones, and new legal issues surrounding Google in this month’s Legal Current podcast.
To start, our “Chaos in the Courts” segment features an odd story about a teenager who jokingly attempted to rob a police station.
Then in our “On the Blawgs” segment we feature a blog post about an intellectual property dispute involving whiskey bottles.
Our interview segment is with Stan Gibson of Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell who shares why smartphone patent litigation is heating up right now and what it means for the consumer.
We then wrap-up with our “In the News” segment featuring a story from Thomson Reuters News & Insight about a new legal conflict concerning Google’s search practices, freedom of speech vs. antitrust laws.
