  • Tim Billick on Patent Traps Founders Walk Into, and Why Trade Secrets Are the Dark Side of the Moon

    Tim Billick on Patent Traps Founders Walk Into, and Why Trade Secrets Are the Dark Side of the Moon
    2026/04/21
    What happens when a patent attorney who grew up swinging a hammer on construction sites, tried seven IP jury trials covering everything from reusable coffee cartridges to cherry cultivar genetics, argued before both the Federal Circuit and the Ninth Circuit, and now plays bass in a Seattle indie rock band decides to explain the single most deadly mistake startup founders make before they ever call a lawyer? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Tim Billick, partner at Practus LLP, about why disclosing your invention before filing — even just telling a friend under no NDA — can gift your idea to the public domain permanently and there is absolutely nothing an attorney can do about it afterward. Tim explains the difference between patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets in plain English, why getting a patent is only the beginning and defending it is where most founders have no plan, and why the 90% prep, 10% execution rule he learned from his brother building high-rises in Chicago applies just as much to trying a jury trial as it does to pouring concrete. They also discuss the Echo Brands reusable coffee cartridge case where both sides accused each other of infringement, Tim's team won the verdict and got the competitor's patent completely invalidated, the bizarre plant patent dispute where Washington state cherry orchardists were sued by the Canadian government over genetic data on late-blooming cherry varietals, why storytelling matters more than facts when you're presenting to a jury of strangers, and how a 90-minute search report that costs a couple thousand dollars can save you from spending 18 months and $20,000 on a patent that was never going to survive. Tim Billick is a partner at Practus LLP in Seattle, handling patent prosecution and IP litigation for startups and creators in software, mechanical, construction, and FinTech.

  • Adam Savett on Securities Fraud, Why Most Investors Leave Money on the Table

    Adam Savett on Securities Fraud, Why Most Investors Leave Money on the Table
    2026/04/21
    What happens when a firm that defended the Hollywood 10 during McCarthyism and pioneered shareholder litigation in 1945 is still in the fight 80 years later — now as lead counsel on the Capital One data breach litigation, with a dismissal rate of 8% against a national average of 46%, recovering hundreds of millions for institutional investors who often don't even know they're entitled to it? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Josh Ruthizer and Adam Savett of Wolf Popper LLP about what portfolio monitoring actually is and why most pension funds still aren't doing it, how the claims filing rate on class action settlements can be in the single digits meaning the people who do file collect a dramatically larger share than they otherwise would, and what the difference is between a stock that tanks because of market risk and one that tanks because somebody was lying. Josh walks through the full lifecycle of a securities class action from initial complaint through lead plaintiff appointment, discovery stay, motion to dismiss, and eventual settlement or trial. Adam explains how he once found a $53 million uncashed recovery for a mutual fund complex that had completely missed the filing. They also discuss the information asymmetry that makes securities fraud litigation so difficult in the early stages when you only know what's public and the company knows exactly where the bodies are buried, why ERISA plans may have an affirmative obligation to evaluate litigation not just an option, why doing nothing is the worst thing an institutional investor can do after discovering potential fraud, and what Wolf Popper's 8% dismissal rate actually tells you about the front-end work they do before ever filing a complaint. Josh Ruthizer and Adam Savett are partners at Wolf Popper LLP in New York, a securities litigation and investor rights firm founded in 1945. Connect with Wolf Popper: wolfpopper.com New York, New York Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Josh Ruthizer and Adam Savett 00:55 What's changed in the frauds Wolf Popper fights — and what's stayed the same 02:04 Josh's path from Proskauer Rose to Wolf Popper via a 2009 downsizing 03:56 If I'm a pension fund trustee and I suspect fraud, what do I do first 05:11 What portfolio monitoring is and why most institutional investors aren't doing it 06:50 Elon Musk and the problem with companies that speak in "almost never" language 07:30 How portfolio monitoring turns a stock drop into actionable information for a client 08:43 How you tell the difference between bad luck and actual securities fraud 09:26 What the federal securities laws actually make illegal — material false statements explained 11:01 Revenue recognition, disclosure of truth, and the elements of a securities fraud claim 12:40 The biggest mistake institutional investors make after being defrauded — doing nothing 13:51 Fiduciary duty and the liability risk of ignoring a potential fraud claim 15:17 Why ERISA funds may have an affirmative obligation to evaluate litigation 17:23 How most funds are leaving money on the table in class action settlements 19:45 Uncashed checks, voided distributions, and what happens to the money people don't collect 22:43 Single-digit claims rates and why filing multiplies your recovery 23:36 The full lifecycle of a securities class action — complaint to settlement 25:30 Lead plaintiff appointment, amended complaints, and the discovery stay 27:30 The information asymmetry problem — you only know what's public, they know where the bodies are buried 29:23 Motion to dismiss, mediation requirements, and why 99% settle before trial 30:30 Why smaller firms can't always sustain the financial weight of securities litigation 32:26 The Microchip Technology case — what made a $9 million settlement winnable 34:30 The $53 million recovery that almost never happened because the fund missed the filing 36:21 Wolf Popper's 8% dismissal rate versus the 46% national average — what accounts for the gap 39:19 How to reach Wolf Popper #WolfPopper #SecuritiesLitigation #JoshRuthizer #AdamSavett #ClassAction #InvestorRights #TrustcastShow #PortfolioMonitoring #SecuritiesFraud #InstitutionalInvestors

  • Ogor Winnie Okoye on Immigration Law, Awakening Your Victor, and Fighting for the Innocent

    Ogor Winnie Okoye on Immigration Law, Awakening Your Victor, and Fighting for the Innocent
    2026/04/20
    What happens when a woman who grew up in a family of lawyers in Nigeria, graduated top of her class, moved to America at 20 for love, and found herself dropped in the middle of an ocean — no connections, no recognition of her law degree, three babies in diapers, and law school to do all over again — comes out the other side and becomes the fiercest advocate in the room? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Ogor Winnie Okoye, founder of Boss Legal Group in Massachusetts, about the miscarriage, the marriage in crisis, and the rock bottom that led to a transformation she now teaches in workshops every Saturday for free. Ogor explains the zone of the UISA — unbiased introspective self-analysis — and why she believes awakening the divinity within each person is not a one-time event but a daily practice that changes how you show up in every courtroom, every client meeting, and every relationship you have. They also discuss crimmigration — the intersection of criminal defense and immigration law — how a 42-year-old man named Carlos was being deported to Guatemala despite having lived here since age 12 and meeting every legal requirement, the nurse who lied about a healthcare worker slapping an elderly patient and watched her story fall apart in 20 minutes on the stand, and why Ogor goes to jail so often that she recognizes just how many innocent people are sitting there waiting for someone to fight for them the way she will. Ogor Winnie Okoye is the founder of Boss Legal Group in Lynn, Massachusetts, licensed in Massachusetts and New York. She practices criminal defense, immigration, crimmigration, estate planning, and family law. Her book is Awakening and Unleashing Your Victor. Her free Saturday life planning workshops are open to the public.
