This week we are joined by Seth Polansky, an IP attorney who is no stranger to the more unique situations in law. Seth is also an AVID geek playing Tabletop Games like Dungeons and Dragons and working of the movie Of Dice and Men. Being an IP lawyer means understanding the nitty gritty and going over the hard subjects is not something that is foreign. Working on everything from Entertainment Law to Cryptographic Law, Seth is well versed across multiple industries. We have been planning this ever since the Creality Cloud debacle a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AfUVex3lA0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1O45DiS89A but now with the news from @Torbjørn Ludvigsen - Hangprinter and others, it is perfect timing to be going over some difficult subjects! Seth Polansky has been a member of the Foundry General Council team since 2017, bringing nearly 20 years of experience in intellectual property, corporate, and contract law. On the corporate side, Seth’s extensive background includes advising a range of businesses from startups to large government contractors. He has negotiated successful outcomes with domestic and international entities, including the US government, the UK government, and multiple state agencies. Seth also has significant experience in the arts and entertainment fields, advising illustrators, filmmakers, production companies, authors, and artists of all types. He counsels small business and artists in securing copyrights, trademarks, and intellectual property rights and regularly aids in the negotiation of contracts. Prior to joining Foundry, Seth served as General Counsel for Cellcrypt, a multinational conglomerate and leading provider of voice encryption technology. In this capacity, he was responsible for contracts, venture capital financing, board secretarial duties, export control, and general corporate legal strategy. He also worked as the Director of Contracts for CSC, one of the world’s largest technology companies, where he managed all aspects of proposals, contracts, and subcontracts for hundreds of millions of dollars of US Federal and State government business. Seth also served as Deputy General Counsel for GAVI Fund, a nonprofit funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which provides immunizations to developing nations.
