McKee, Voorhees & Sease - 100 Years of Service
Friday Jan 12, 2024
Friday Jan 12, 2024
This happens to us all the time. Someone sends out a press release, and we read them all, but far too often the story is so hyper-local that it doesn't match our national newscast goals. This presser was about a Des Moines, Iowa based law firm that is celebrating 100 years doing patent law. About five lines in we saw that McKee, Voorhees & Sease (MVS) has clients in 160 countries in areas of technology, industries, pharmaceuticals and many more. All of a sudden this is no hyper-local story and we signed on. Here you will meet Luke Mohrhauser the Managing Partner of MVS with what, we thought, was a brilliant conversation about a host of issues surrounding protecting intellectual property, threats, copywrite infringement and more. Yep, we sorta geeked out on this. Let's go!
