Hey All,

My name is Ryan and I am the Chair of the Intellectual Property Practice Group at Braun Blaising McLaughlin & Smith, P.C. (http://www.braunlegal.com). I am an entrepreneur, former IT consultant, and now intellectual property attorney. My combined experience lets me provide valuable legal insights to campaigners on crowdfunding related matters. I have consulted with many campaign owners on a variety of legal matters related to all aspects of launch, funding, and completion.

I know there are many questions and issues that arise during the crowdfunding process, especially those related to intellectual property matters (copyright, trademark, and patent). So ask! I am also working with Salvador to publish a weekly post on CrowdCrux, if you have an issue you would like to see addressed in these articles, please throw it out there.

Look forward to your questions!

Do you also represent filmmakers or are you just a crowd funding ?

I am only experienced in legal matters related to crowdfunding. However, this forum is a great resource for other matters.

Is it so great to have the chance to ask a legal expert questions about crowdfunding. I understand there are a lot of issues associated with getting money from people over the internet. My questions are specific to securities crowdfunding authorized by the JOBS Act. I hope you are an expert on that too.

1. Does Section 12(a)(2) liability apply to Section 4(a)(6) offerings?

2. What are the tax implications of a combined rewards and equity crowdfunding campaign?

Thanks in advance for the insightful answers.
