When science meets law, the result can be revolutionary. But what's the key to making a mark in the intricate field of intellectual property law with a foundation in science?

According to Scott Blackman, a seasoned intellectual property attorney, blending scientific precision with legal strategy is essential. He highlights the importance of clearly communicating complex scientific concepts in legal contexts, such as patent law, where misunderstanding can lead to missed opportunities or even failure. This approach not only aids in negotiations and legal arguments but also ensures that all parties involved, including judges and the opposition, fully grasp the technical details of a case.

In this episode of 15 Minutes, Chad Franzen is joined by Scott Blackman, Partner at Booth Udall Fuller PLC, to explore how integrating scientific knowledge with legal expertise leads to success in intellectual property. They discuss effective negotiation techniques, the benefits of a science background in law, and how to make complex patent issues accessible to everyone involved.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
