00:00To start, I want to first talk about the process of taking a design from a concept to an actual product,
00:06because obviously it's not something that you just hop, skip to.
00:09There's a lot of steps in between, and oftentimes we see it being such a glamorized process
00:14that people think that you just wake up and you have a product, but it's not like that at all.
00:19So who are some of the key players that you want to have on your team in those early stages
00:24to ensure that your ideas are protected, even from onset, the freely creative process?
00:30And April, I want to start with you.
00:33If we're talking about protecting our ideas, I would say you want to have a good legal team.
00:39You want to have attorneys that count, and not just attorneys,
00:44but the ones that understand about intellectual properties, understand about trademarks, copyrights.
