J.D. and Matt talked about grilling and the ups and downs of their own experience. JD confessed to being a novice when it comes to grilling. Matt however came in huge with some really cool ideas to end up with meat that doesn't taste smokey/overcooked. 

We (rather quickly) transitioned to offering our free screening session and offered a fre PDF of Bold Ideas (both the Physician's Guide and Traditional versions). 

We then moved on talking about our Bold Bite of the week. We looked at the pitch from "Tailgate N Go" from earlier this month on ABC's Shark Tank. JD jumped right in to correct the business from sayin "provisional patent", because they didn't clearly state that it was just an application. The company told the sharks the "have patents on the product" but the truth is that they haven't even been through examination yet at the USPTO to evaluate for novelty. 

Matt found that NO trademarks were on file, so the company is at risk of either infringing another mark's rights and/or not being able to register a relatively descriptive mark. 

We wrapped up by answering two Avvo.com questions regarding foreign language translations for trademarks, and a patent question about publication and 3rd party derivation.
