Driving Success in Intellectual Property Law: Navigating Legal Roadblocks with Gearhart Law's Richard Gearhart

In this podcast episode, host Winter Baserva interviews the Founding Partner of Gearhart Law, Richard Gearhart. Richard explained that his job involves protecting people's ideas, including inventions, company brands, and creative works, through patents, trademarks, and copyrights.

Richard clarified a common misconception about the use of the copyright symbol. He explained that a creative work automatically receives copyright protection once it's reduced to a tangible form, even without registration with the copyright office.

Richard emphasized the significance of communication and understanding within his business. He confessed that he used to worry about pushing too hard for people to show their work, but he now realizes it's necessary for everyone's benefit.

He also highlighted the importance of having a financial process in place. He shared an example of how he improved his tax deductions by properly classifying his expenses, demonstrating the practical benefits of good financial management.
