Tom Barrett, the president of Encirca, has been keeping on top of blockchain domains, especially concerning trademarks. His firm recently launched AltRoots.com to help brands monitor and manage their brands in these names. Tom talks regarding brand protection in these alternate namespaces on today’s show. We also discuss these domains in general, counting why people and firms might use them and how they compare to previous alt-root attempts. Whether you’re a brand owner or just interested in blockchain, it’s an educational episode.
