I like it. I have worked for several months in the patent litigation field, so I was listening particularly for the patent aspects. Nothing surprised me, but it was nice to finally have someone confirm what I thought I understood about the field. I also found the copyright and trademark/dress portions enjoyable and interesting. Thanks.
