Soft IP in the Start-up Nation with Ariel Dubinsky

Ariel shares what it's like to work on trademark and copyright issues in Israel & why the Hollywood Reporter came calling for his insights on reality TV.

Hello,

Earlier this year, Eli had the opportunity to spend a day in Tel Aviv with Ariel Dubinsky, the founder and owner of the Ariel Dubinsky Law Firm. While there, Eli saw first-hand how Ariel operates at the heart of Israel’s dynamic entrepreneurial culture. Even amidst war, the “Startup Nation” saw a record breaking $10.5 billion in startup acquisitions this year.

Ariel mainly focuses on trademarks, which are increasingly important for these globally focused start-ups. He is also one of Israel’s leading copyright litigators - know for his expertise at navigating Israel’s unique laws for photographers.

In this episode, Ariel shares insights on:

  • Navigating IP in Israel’s vibrant startup culture—and how technological innovations born in military intelligence often fuel groundbreaking businesses.

  • Collaborating across borders, including the West Bank—even amidst challenging circumstances.

  • Litigating in Israel, including how he ended up handling cases involving photographers.

  • The complexities of copyright enforcement in Israel, including his thoughts on whether it’s possible to copyright reality TV concepts.
