On November 20, local entertainment lawyers John Stout of Fredrikson & Bryon and Daniel M. Satorius Vice President Lommen Abdo Cole King & Stageberg, P.A. and Co-Chair of the Entertainment Law Department joined Dean Jon Garon for an information-packed discussion on the role lawyers should play in invigorating Minnesota's film business. Panelists explained that making movies in Minnesota involves much more than identifying interesting scripts and scouting locations. Lawyers must be involved in the process of raising capital, preparing and reviewing contracts, protecting intellectual copyright and other key issues.

Dean Jon Garon of Hamline University School of Law, discussing his forthcoming book “Own It - The Law & Business Guide to Launching a New Business through Innovation, Exclusivity and Relevance.” Jon’s new book is aimed at the entrepreneur who wants a concise and readable overview of the IP law issues related to starting a business and building it (at least in part) on IP. Because Jon and I differ on some issues (although we agreed on more than I thought we would), we had a conversation that ranged from open source to software patents.
