On this episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we're going to tackle a topic that has come up quite a lot in the last year - Intellectual Property rights. The US Patent system is something that is often misunderstood and even less so one that is taken advantage of by US Citizens when clear IP theft is being made. So in light of the recent lawsuits coming up between companies like Glock and Polymer80, or GWACS Armory and KE Arms, I thought it might be prudent to bring on a subject matter expert to talk about the basics of what the basics of patients are and how they apply in some of these specific cases we're seeing unfold before us. 

Our guest and subject matter expert today is Dan Evans - an Intellectual Property lawyer who works for the boutique law firm McCoy Russell LLP an intellectual property firm based out of Portland Oregon. Dan has represented clients in a variety of patent matters including patent applications and prosecution, so he has the perfect type of understanding to break down these often complex legal matters that take place between firearms companies. Please welcome Mr. Dan Evens to the show!
