Description

In this episode of the Buchalter Trade Secret podcast, host Dylan Wiseman is joined by Cara Thornton, Litigation Shareholder in Buchalter’s Denver office, to discuss a fascinating court decision involving the legendary hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan and the infamous one-of-a-kind album purchased by Martin Shkreli for $2 million. Together, they unpack the court’s reasoning and tackle the key question at the center of the case: can an unreleased work of art—like this exclusive recording—qualify as a trade secret? Tune in as Dylan and Cara explore how this unique blend of art, ownership, and intellectual property law is redefining the boundaries of creative and legal protection.
