ken_suzan_38

Kenneth D. Suzan practices Intellectual Property Law at Barnes and Thornburg in Minneapolis. He also co-founded IP Fridays with Rolf Claessen, a Patent Attorney in Cologne, Germany. They discuss recent issues regarding patents, trademarks, copyright, unfair competition, licensing, and other IP topics. Trademarks are everywhere.

Ken takes us back to his New York upbringing and shares a bit about his family of origin. You will learn how he meets his wife, Kelly, and becomes a father of two children. Time management becomes a balancing act of prioritization. We move into how he has combined his interests in acting, broadcast communication, and law to build a fulfilling 19-year career in the legal profession.

We learn where his curiosity for intellectual property was sparked. You will soon learn how his ability to see the world through innovative eyes and a huge curiosity to explore new things feeds his soul. Listen in for an engaging and energetic conversation especially when it comes to the emerging intellectual property topics of Drones, privacy, and registration.
