Seth Gardenswartz from Blackgarden Law in Albuquerque, NM isn’t just any attorney.. he’s the attorney with the heart of a Marketing Guy!

During this podcast you’ll hear about Seth’s early experience with big brands and marketing in retail apparel and how he applies what he learned then to his law practice now. A practice that focuses mostly on Copy Rights and Trademarks.

The custom t-shirt business is fraught with opportunities for intellectual property theft. You need to know what to do to protect your designs, your logo and your rights AND you need to know what trouble YOU can get into if you take someone else’s work.

Don’t take anyone’s advice except an attorneys – it could cost you your business if you do.
