## **Episode 71 Overview**

Patents and trademarks abound in the world of cocoa and chocolate. In this episode of #PodSaveChocolate we’ll be taking a look at a few trademarks and patents, explore some of the tools that are available to search for them, and see what we can learn about technical development – recent and historical.

This entire episode was inspired by PSC episode 69 (News and AMA) and a story about Tesla’s plans to enter the candy market.

| [ENFISH on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=enfish&ns0=1&ref=thechocolatelife.com) Disclosure: I am one of the named inventors on the disputed patent which establishes subject matter eligibility in software patents – a huge thing. The suit was settled before it went to trial. While I was asked to be an expert witness for the plaintiffs, by the time the suit was in progress I no longer had any economic interest in the patent and I received no payout from the settlement. Another thing to know about patents. |
