This episode is all about Bottega Veneta and their recent explosion in popularity. I begin the episode with some brief history of the Bottega Veneta fashion house and then go over some interesting patents and trademarks the company owns. I discuss a few lawsuits that the fashion house was involved in against Chinese shopping giant, Alibaba. I end the episode by providing updates on two outstanding lawsuits from Season 1 of my podcast series - Sealaska v. Neiman Marcus and the patent infringement lawsuit,  Jacob's Jewelry v. Tiffany and Co. Thank you for listening. Enjoy!
