- Intellectual property attorney Shontavia Johnson discusses the patent process and how much money is made through patents and trademarks. Today she breaks down the cells of Henrietta Lacks (born on August 1, 1920) known as "Hela Cells," which Johnson estimates has made more than $1 trillion over thousands of patents. #HenriettaLacks #HelaCells #ShontaviaJohnson #KarenHunter #PatentSeries

All this learning today, earlier with you and Dr. Carr and now, my brain is bursting! You are on a mission Professor Hunter and I am down for the ride.
Yes, I am! Thank you.
Keep watching and learning! We have a lot more where this came from.
Sending this to ALLLLL my children. Actual and virtual. I'm determined while I have breath, to get them to get THIS. I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING THIS TO THEM FOR YEARS. Information rules, we have been prepared for a time such as this. We have done it for others, now we WILL do it for ourselves. They are so talented, educated and amazing people. The sky and beyond can't even limit them
Please share with all of your folks! You are right - we are talented, educated and amazing. - Shontavia
I can't help but to think of Mrs. Lacks, her family and the injustice perpetrated until this day because where I work we utilize her cells daily. Both the cost to purchase the cells and their utilization in studies is big bank.
Huge bank for sure. Thank you for watching! -Shontavia
Thank you so much for this information as I have a patent idea. This series is excellent. Karen you are the bomb.com for bring us knowledge and information always. I hope to meet you one day.
Thank you so much for watching! -Shontavia
I remember reading the book called the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks in college. The family should have been compensated for that. John Hopkins did her family wrong. This needs to be brought up and revisited in court. Thank you so much for bringing this up. We argued and debated about this in a utilitarian aspect in my advance debate course. I can imagine how much money the Hela Cells have made for the U.S. smh...Karen you are sooo awesome. Once again its an black woman bailing out America again..even in death. Please keep doing what you are doing. I love ya work. Keep educating.
Thank you for watching and listening!
@K O Indeed! I love that: "Cell Culture Reparations" 👏!!!!!!!!!!
IKR
I read the book several years ago . Amazing book can’t comprehend how people can take advantage of people . Her cells are world wide when her family found out it was years later .
It is definitely an amazing book! Thank you for watching and listening. - Shontavia
Henrietta basically had the Vibranium for the world, like what was used in the movie Wakanda. Her genes are actually the link to the first man / woman.
I like that! - Shontavia
Sis knows her shit. ❤️
Thank you, Sis! 🤓💪🏾
Yes! I love jotting down nuggets from Dr Carr but a patent series with this lady, Shontavia would be so interesting and a good consistent topic!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏾
Her family has never been compensated from Johns Hopkins and beyond. R.I.P. She was amazing. Her gift to the world is pricless.
Her gift was definitely priceless. Thank you for watching! - Shontavia
Amen🙏🏿
This was soo informative and educational in terms of the misconceptions with starting a business and monetizing your intellectual property. Much appreciated, Karen!!!
Thank you so much! - Shontavia

Her Family Hasn't Been Compensated Til This Day & Not Only Tht Her Family Had No Idea What They Were Doing...... Research her story Please! Ty, Sis for bringing this to light. ♥️♥️♥️ Ps. Love Ur Blouse.

Thank you so much! - Shontavia
Wow! Incredibly useful information here. Thank you!!
Thank you for watching! - Shontavia
AWESOME Interview & a good listen.
Their forefathers were good at the game of tricknology🙄shameful that her family isn't getting paid. Great information on handling your intellectual property online.
I love the book on the topic!
Me too! Thanks for watching -Shontavia
Great show
Thank you for watching! - Shontavia
I didn’t know any of this👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾I Love you guys
Each one teach one, Sis! Thank you for watching.
Please record your videos louder. I think it's better for the volume to be loud and we, the audience, have to turn it down than low and we max out the volume and still have a difficult time listening.
You're doing such amazing work. We appreciate you.
Thanks 🤗
Thanks!!! very thanks, excelent; what intellectual level to explain the complex easy!
gracias, que nivel intelectual para explicar lo complejo facil, love from Argentine
Scientists made millions and her family is still broke 🤔
Yep, DIRT poor. Read the book, what she’s done for science and how her family’s been forgotten is disgusting!
SMH
Hela cells = today’s biotechnology!
Yup. Biotech is literally built on her back. -Shontavia
I read the book and followed the law on body parts long ago. There is so much more to the story. I will say that the book was written with so much cate by the White author in stark contrast to fictional properties like _The Help_.
The ways that Shontavia has placed the patent within its proper critical and historical context, it sounds like it's just another square in the quilt of racial capitalism. Just a thought...
I was thinking the same! I would love more discussion on the construct of capitalism
No one makes money off of their own body parts. No matter the race. But corporations make money off of cells and research. They do the research. And who owns the corporations and keeps the money!? We know who.

What if there are more black people with the HELLA cells. The idea that a single individual would have immortal tissue doesn't jive with me. Think we all get experimented on at the same rates as before. The system hasn't changed make some think they're special and others feel lack. Cast systems are about knowledge more than wealth. Separation and segregation creates miscommunication
there probably are.
This has absolutely nothing to do with nothing. However, Karen you skin is amazing. Great segment as well. #karenrebel
thank you, Stephanie!
😮😮😮!!!
Sounds like she's a #Medical #Eve
Thank you for watching! - Shontavia
