A conversation with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the 2018 Trademark Expo
"On July 27 and 28, guests poured in to the Smithsonian’s National
Museum of American History to participate in the 2018 National Trademark
Exposition. This free biennial event supports the USPTO’s mission of
educating the public about the vital role intellectual property
protections—in this case trademarks— play
in our increasingly competitive global marketplace. More than twenty
exhibitors, including government entities, non-profits, small
businesses, and corporations from all over the country provided
thought-provoking interactive displays and educational workshops.
Keynoting at this year’s expo was NBA All-Star, author, and
entrepreneur, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I had the opportunity to sit down
with Abdul-Jabbar to find out what made him the industry giant he is
today—not surprisingly, it is much more than his 7 foot 2 inch stature."
