In this episode of Music Matters (NAMM Show edition) we dive into the complex and ever-evolving world of music industry trademarks and intellectual property.

Our guest is internationally recognized entertainment, trademark, and intellectual property attorney-and accomplished musician-Ronald S. Bienstock, joining us from his offices in Morristown, New Jersey.

Together, we explore the legal foundations that protect artists, brands, and creative work in today's global music business.
