Kraig L. Marini Baker is a senior affiliate instructor of law and policy classes in the Communications Leadership program. Kraig has been part of the faculty since the founding of the program. Kraig is a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine, a large downtown law firm. Kraig particularly enjoys trying to demystify the legal worlds of free speech, intellectual property, and privacy. Kraig is often the first person clients call for help with new technology, new platforms, and new distribution techniques—pretty much anything that’s a new undertaking for an organization. In particular, Kraig helps clients with intellectual property licensing and operational contracts across the full range of issues within technology, innovation, media, entertainment, sports, advertising, privacy, and social media matters, with an emphasis on content, mobile, innovative technology, digital media, and interactive entertainment.
