Dr. Jean, The Results Queen® interviews special guest Ed Weisz, Shareholder and IP Attorney at Cozen O'Connor, shares his journey from electrical engineer to patent lawyer. Ed explains the IP spectrum—patents (20-year monopolies requiring science backgrounds), trademarks (brand protection lasting forever), and copyrights. He discusses memorable patents like an MTA bus driver's hand pillow and a snow plow contractor's boundary markers, emphasizing how necessity drives invention.
Key Action Steps: Don't wait to file patents—you have only 12 months from public disclosure thanks to Ben Franklin's one-year rule. Conduct prior art searches and consult attorneys early. For product sellers, research existing patents and consider design modifications to avoid infringement. Ed's final advice: "Protect your intellectual property because if you don't, someone is going to trespass."

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
