Sports Are Back With a Slight Cap

Author: Mark Houston II, Esq. August 6, 2020 Duration: 1:14:44

Season 1; Episode 14 - Almost all major sports have returned!! FINALLY!! We'll dive into the new look and feel sports landscape and discuss how sports have returned in our Slight Cap Recap.  We'll also be rappin about the NCAA PAC-12 player boycott and the ramifications of their list of demands, how MLB player, Yoenis Cespedes, opted out of the MLB restart mid-game, how the NFL is handling opt outs, which NFL player was the first to opt out and why, and which NFL star will play despite voicing major concerns.

Afterwards, we look to change the pace of the match and invite our very first AthLegalEaze guest to lead our Case Law segment.  Kasia Trauben, an Intellectual Property attorney, located in Los Angeles, and focused on patent and trademark work in the fashion world, will put the team on her back and lead our discussion re some legal issues involving wearable technology and logos. 

She'll be rappin about patents 101, the NBA Bubble Oura Smart Ring patents, and the Nike v. Adidas (FlyKnit v. PrimeKnit) patent infringement lawsuit.  Then we'll discuss trademarks 101, Nike's failed attempt at securing the 'SNKRS' trademark, and the ongoing logo trademark dispute between Monster Energy Drink and the Toronto Raptors.
