Show Notes

In this segment of “IP in the News” on Passage to Profit Show, we dive into the high-stakes clash between Major League Baseball Players Association and sports betting giants DraftKings and Bet365. The debate? Whether these companies can use player images in their software without proper licensing. From the legality of player stats to the ethical implications of intellectual property, our panel unpacks the key arguments, explores the broader public benefit, and asks: when does exposure cross the line into exploitation?

 

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of The Passage to Profit Show have this discussion with sports analyst and podcaster Zach Hirsch, Maria Cho from Triplebar and Thomas Petzold from Lightcore-Energy.
