Show Notes

Join us in this IP in the News segment of the Passage to Profit Show - Road to Entrepreneurship as we dive into the intriguing intersection of trademark law and labor rights, focusing on the unique case of Trader Joe's and its employees' unionization efforts. With the creation of a tote bag bearing the Trader Joe's name as a fundraising tool, a legal battle ensued, sparking debate over the boundaries of trademark infringement amidst labor organizing. Drawing parallels to similar cases, including the clash between Medieval Times and its employees, we explore the implications of using corporate branding in union activities.

 

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of The Passage to Profit Show along with iHeart Media Maven Kenya Gipson have this discussion with Global IA Solutions & IA for PR expert Paula Phelan from Nadel Phelan and Music Producer Steven Gobern from Steam Worldwide Music.
