Coffee & Intellectual Property

By Jenn Chen • Issue #60 • View online

Hello! Welcome to issue #60, which is a rather large milestone. I most recently published three pieces on intellectual property (see Thoughts section) and how it relates to coffee. They were very time consuming in both the amount of interviews & research I had to do.

I also recently updated my Resources page- in the apps/tools I use & a new section for getting started on my blog.

Enjoy!
