Huntsville's loss is Chattanooga's gain!

In this episode of the Mountain Echo, we're thrilled to welcome Dr. Schlecht, a dedicated advocate for intellectual property and the owner of Midtown Intellectual Property, PC. Founded in 2018 and headquartered right here on Lookout Mountain, Midtown IP offers legal services to businesses and startups in Chattanooga and the surrounding area. Serving diverse industries, including pharmaceuticals, life sciences, mechanical engineering, and AI, Midtown IP delivers a range of services, such as patent drafting and prosecution, trademark registration, and IP strategy consulting. With a focus on innovation, the firm supports clients in transforming ideas from the benchtop to the marketplace. Join us as Dr. Schlecht shares his journey to make his home here in our mountain community.

Join us as we hear how a little boy living outside of Huntsville and who grew up visiting the Space and Rocket Center and attending summer camp at Covenant College went on to become one of the smartest kids in town and then on to earn a doctorate in Chemistry before moving into the area of law where he now practices - business law, patents and trademarks. And as a bonus, his wife is a Covenant College grad! 

Dr Schlecht (which ironically is German for 'bad', yet, he is so good!) has moved with his family, and during COVID of all times, to find a lovely home and wonderful life here on Lookout. 

This episode is fun to listen to as he weaves seamlessly through different topics and as he shares about some of the nuances of services that he now offers clients here on Lookout. He has opened Midtown Intellectual Property (MidtownIP.com) in town and he is open to receiving new clients both individual and companies. Listen in and hear the other various services that Midtown IP offers such as legal counsel, contracts, NDA, patents, trademarks, logos and other business legal needs.

As always there are other topics covered and mentioned and some of those in this episode are: 

Huntsville, Hazel Green, the German language, Rocket City, Space Camp, Chrysler, Redstone Arsenal, Branch Technology, Summit Summer Camp, Covenant College, St. Louis, Goodmans Coffee, Washington University, 'farming grass', Midtown Intellectual Property, quid pro quo, Pylon AI, NDA, etc...
