Podcasts about Intellectual property

In this powerful keynote edition of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu sets the stage for a radical conversation on the difference between positive thinking and real empowerment. As tech innovation accelerates and artificial intelligence transforms every corner of our lives, Tom challenges creators, entrepreneurs, and dreamers to confront uncomfortable truths: wishing for the best is not enough when disruption is at the door. This episode is a wake-up call for content creators as Tom unpacks the existential threat—and unparalleled opportunities—emerging in the wake of the AI revolution. Join Tom as he explores why mindset must be paired with hardcore skill acquisition and why traditional “moats” in content creation are rapidly vanishing.

The race between pirates and rights holders has entered a new era where algorithms call the shots. Across six countries on three continents, courts are embracing AI as the referee of intellectual property rights in sports broadcasting, delivering a game-changing shift in enforcement speed and effectiveness.From hockey arenas in Toronto to cricket grounds in Mumbai, sophisticated AI systems now fingerprint legitimate broadcasts, instantly detect unauthorized streams, and trigger court-ordered blocks in real-time. The result? Millions of viewers watching pirated streams suddenly find their screens going dark mid-match as algorithms blow the whistle on infringement.This episode takes you inside landmark cases where technology and law converge. In Canada, broadcasters secured dynamic blocking orders that update during live games. Spain's La Liga won the right to target entire server infrastructures. French courts ordered VPN providers to block pirate access. Ireland extended Premier League protections through 2027. And India's cricket authorities gained "dynamic plus" injunctions to shut down rogue apps and mirror sites as they appear.What makes these cases revolutionary is how they've normalized algorithm-driven enforcement. Courts now trust AI detection as reliable evidence and trigger for immediate action. Internet service providers publish their blocking obligations as routine notices. The technology that once seemed futuristic has become the everyday referee of digital rights.For pirates who once stayed ahead of enforcement by constantly shifting domains and servers, the game has fundamentally changed. They now face an opponent that moves at machine speed, identifying and blocking new infrastructure faster than humans can respond. It's a buzzer-beater for intellectual property that's reshaping the global sports streaming landscape.Ready to understand how AI is revolutionizing IP enforcement?

Every masterpiece you've ever consumed likely passed through a licensing agreement first. That catchy song in your favorite commercial? Licensed. The superhero logo on your coffee mug? Licensed. The technology powering your smartphone? Licensed hundreds of times over. Licensing represents the hidden architecture behind innovation empires, allowing creators to extend their reach without surrendering control. Unlike selling your intellectual property outright, licensing lets you maintain ownership while granting permission for others to use it under specific conditions – essentially renting out a room while remaining the landlord.The potential of licensing spans virtually every form of intellectual property. Patents enable inventors to collect royalties from global manufacturers without running factories. Trademarks allow fashion brands and sports teams to appear on merchandise worldwide. Copyrights drive music, publishing, and streaming industries. Even carefully protected trade secrets can be licensed as valuable know-how.But successful licensing requires methodical preparation. You must clearly establish ownership, precisely define scope, protect confidentiality during negotiations, package assets for seamless transition, establish defensible royalty models, and determine governance structures. Finding the right licensees demands strategic targeting – from identifying companies in similar patent classes to exploring industry standards programs and attending specialized trade shows.The negotiation process benefits from structured frameworks: separating positions from interests, understanding your alternatives, presenting multiple equivalent offers, and stress-testing deals through financial modeling. Equally important is recognizing red flags: licensees who overpromise, resist transparency, fight performance standards, demand excessive exclusivity, or operate in challenging regulatory environments.Remember that licenses exist in dynamic markets with changing conditions. Know when to renegotiate (when fundamental assumptions shift), when to walk away (when partners consistently underperform), and when litigation becomes necessary (when your rights are genuinely threatened).Want to develop your own IP protection strategy?

Keep it clean and co-creative.One of the reasons why I suggest to some coaches that they not sell coaching sessions is to allow room for a more hybrid type of service that fits the genius of the coach.Having your own knowledge capital can help you attract clients and raise your credibility. Your knowledge adds structure to your offer so you can charge a higher ticket price and get it.Many of my clients who are all trained coaches are also what I call the Teacher Archetype. That's what I am and why I shifted my coaching business to a hybrid model.Have you ever wanted to teach your coaching clients skills, techniques and insights to help them leap over learning curves?Let's explore how to do that ethically.I'd love to hear from you.

Welcome to a fascinating exploration of the hidden legal battles shaping tomorrow's technology. Predictive algorithms have become the crystal balls of modern business, forecasting everything from home prices to healthcare costs, but they're also becoming the center of high-stakes courtroom dramas worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Across the globe, from Texas courtrooms to China's Supreme People's Court, judges and juries are answering a profound question: who owns the right to predict the future? The House Canary v. Amrock case resulted in a staggering $600 million verdict over real estate valuation algorithms, while Alibaba secured a 30 million RMB judgment against a company that allegedly scraped its predictive marketing tools. Even industrial applications aren't immune, with companies like Shen Group successfully protecting predictive design software for machinery components.What makes these cases particularly compelling is how they're redefining intellectual property law. Courts are now recognizing that AI model weights, the mathematical parameters tuned during training, qualify as protectable trade secrets. Data pipelines, prediction engines, and algorithmic structures have all received similar protection. The real drama often unfolds when employees change companies, raising thorny questions about what constitutes general expertise versus proprietary knowledge that belongs to the former employer.Healthcare prediction presents especially valuable territory, with ongoing battles between companies like Qruis and Epic Systems, or Milliman and Gradient AI, demonstrating how patient data forecasting creates immensely valuable intellectual property. Whether it's forecasting home values on Zillow or optimizing Medicare billing, these predictive tools aren't just convenient features, they're corporate crown jewels worth protecting at almost any cost.Ready to dive deeper into the invisible rules governing innovation? Subscribe now and join us as we continue to decode the legal frameworks shaping our technological future. The algorithms may predict tomorrow, but who gets to own those predictions? That's what we're exploring on Intangiblia.Get the book!Send us a textSupport the show

Stephan Kinsella was our guest to talk about "intellectual property," the concept that an individual's ideas belong to them and should be protected from free use by others through law. Stephan is a patent attorney and libertarian writer in Houston whose book Against Intellectual Property is the seminal work on this subject. We discussed why intellectual property is not really property, why it places an undue burden on society, and how it inhibits the free exchange of culture and ideas.Stephan can be found at www.stephankinsella.com, at the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom, and on X/Twitter @NSKinsellaResources mentioned in this episode:Stephan Kinsella's book, Against Intellectual Property – on Amazon and Free from the Mises InstituteStephan's Soho forum debate, Abolish Copyrights and Patents?RiP: A Remix Manifesto – Amazon Video and Free on YouTubeRichard Stallman's book, Free Software, Free SocietyAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

Choreography copyright exists in a fascinating legal gray area where cultural ownership and legal protection often clash. When Alfonso Ribeiro attempted to claim rights to his iconic "Carlton Dance" from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air after Fortnite used it as a purchasable emote, his case was dismissed because the Copyright Office deemed the routine "too simple" - just three basic dance steps without sufficient originality. This ruling sparked crucial conversations about what makes dance protectable.The landscape shifted dramatically when choreographer Kyle Hanagami sued Epic Games over a four-count hook from his registered routine appearing in Fortnite. When the Ninth Circuit reversed an initial dismissal in 2023, they delivered a game-changing perspective: "Reducing choreography to isolated poses is like reducing music to single notes." This recognition that even short sequences could embody original expression opened new possibilities for dancers seeking protection.We explore how this legal evolution continues with Kelly Heyer's ongoing battle against Roblox for monetizing her viral "Apple Dance" without permission. With platforms earning substantial revenue from choreographic content, questions of fair compensation and proper licensing have never been more urgent. Meanwhile, international cases reveal how different jurisdictions approach dance protection - from China's rejection of single-pose copyright to Brazil's emphasis on proving tangible harm.Through these stories, we distill five crucial principles governing choreography copyright: basic movements remain freely available to all; originality exists in arrangement rather than individual steps; even short sequences can qualify for protection if distinctive enough; evidence of harm matters as much as creativity; and courts continually seek balance between creator rights and cultural freedom. As dance moves from stages to avatars in the metaverse, these principles will shape how we value and protect movement in the digital age.Ready to dive deeper into intellectual property's fascinating frontiers?

Not all intellectual property rights are automatic. Some appear the moment you create, others only when you use, file, or keep them locked away. Join me in the latest episode of "The Patenting for Inventors Podcast," as we explore the hidden logic of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, and why the law treats your poem, your logo, your invention, and your secret recipe so differently!

We'll dive into the numbers and reveal the surprising ways these names are generating serious returns. From luxury real estate to endorsement deals to intellectual property, their stories highlight an often-overlooked lesson: the power of diversification.It's also that time of year when property tax bills hit mailboxes—and homeowners feel the pinch. That sparked a bigger conversation: should you manage your own insurance and tax payments, or let your lender handle it through an escrow account?

Get the book!What happens when artificial intelligence challenges humans for the invention crown? We dive into this provocative question by examining real-world examples where AI has revolutionized fields from drug discovery to furniture design.The evidence is compelling. AI systems have accelerated medical research, discovered antibiotics against resistant bacteria, identified new molecular patterns, and generated creative designs faster than humans could imagine. Yet every breakthrough required human direction, interpretation, and implementation. As we explore this partnership, the podcast reveals a fundamental truth - innovation isn't humans versus machines but humans with machines.The legal landscape adds another dimension to this discussion. We unpack the fascinating "Davos Saga," where Dr. Stephen Thaler's attempt to list his AI system as an inventor on patent applications met resistance worldwide. Courts in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, Japan, and Switzerland all reached the same conclusion: under current law, only natural persons can be inventors. This global consensus reflects the view that AI remains a sophisticated tool rather than an autonomous creator deserving legal rights.For inventors navigating this evolving landscape, emotional barriers often prove as challenging as technical ones. That's why we introduce the powerful "Fear Setting" exercise from my book "Protection of the Inventive Mind." This practical technique helps transform anxiety into action by confronting worst-case scenarios, developing safeguards, and planning recovery strategies. Download the worksheet from our website to experience how quickly your innovation fears diminish when systematically addressed.Whether you're a human inventor seeking to harness AI's capabilities or simply fascinated by the intersection of technology and creativity, this episode offers valuable insights into the future of innovation. Subscribe now and join us in exploring how the most powerful inventions emerge when human intuition meets algorithmic intelligence.Send us a textSupport the show

In this episode of Stanford Legal, host Professor Pamela Karlan interviews her Stanford Law School colleague Professor Lisa Larrimore Ouellette about actions by the Trump administration that Ouellette says are undermining scientific research and jeopardizing America's longstanding global leadership in medicine and innovation. Drawing on an essay she penned for Just Security, Ouellette explains how decades of bipartisan support for federally funded science—an engine of American innovation since World War II—is now at risk. From canceling grants already approved through peer review, to capping essential “indirect cost” reimbursements, she details how these moves threaten not just labs and universities but also patients, whose clinical trials are being abruptly halted.  Ouellette also highlights a second front in her current scholarship: how drug development policy can be better aligned with public health needs. As a member of a National Academies committee, she recently co-authored a report showing that both private investment and federal funding often fail to prioritize diseases causing the greatest suffering. Links:Lisa Larrimore Ouellette >>> Stanford Law pageThe Trump Administration's Multi-Front Assault on Federal Research Funding  >>> Just Security pageStanford Law's Lisa Ouellette Helps Shape New Report on Drug Development Reform  >>> Stanford Lawyer online featureConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X(00:00) Research Funding (05:01) The Competitive Grant Process (15:01) Addressing Disease Burden (20:00) Impacts of Stopped Clinical Trials (25:01) The Role of Federal Investment in Innovation

This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Ret. MN Supreme Court Justice Barry Anderson interview Prof. Keith Hylton, William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor and Professor of Law at Boston University. Prof. Hylton shares insights from his academic career and the book Laws of Creation: Property Rights in the World of Ideas, which he co-authored. The discussion explores how Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke and Adam Smith helped shape the legal framework for property rights and the free market in the U.S., and how these ideas are central to understanding our modern economy. Prof. Hylton explains the constitutional foundations of American intellectual property (IP) law, Thomas Jefferson's role in establishing the U.S. Patent Office, and how historic inventors like Thomas Edison exemplify American experimentation, innovation, and economic dynamism.  He also covers trade secrets, copyright law, and the tension between protecting inventors' individual patent rights and today's calls for free access to copyrighted online content. Hylton addresses global challenges, including cyber theft and piracy, and reflects on key legal cases that define international IP enforcement. Prof. Hylton also shares three major takeaways he hopes high school and undergraduate students will understand about the importance of intellectual property rights in sustaining American rule of law, innovation, and economic growth. He concludes with a reading from his book, Laws of Creation: Property Rights in the World of Ideas.

The recent dismissal of the Librarian of Congress and the Register of Copyrights by President Trump raises fundamental questions about the scope of the President’s removal authority and the constitutional status of these offices. Do these officials exercise executive power such that they must be removable at will? Or has Congress validly restricted removal in pursuit of independence?This panel will examine the legal and historical foundations of both positions, tracing the development of the Library of Congress and the Copyright Office, their placement within the legislative branch, and the President’s authority to remove them—if any. The discussion will examine whether these offices lie within the President’s removal authority or whether Congress has validly constrained that power.Our panel will consider the constitutional text, structural implications, and historical practice governing the removal of these unique officers.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 470. From my appearance on the Ayn Rand Fan Club with Scott Schiff and William. Their Shownotes: Patent attorney, Libertarian & Ayn Rand fan Stephan Kinsella joins William & Scott to talk about his history in the liberty world and his unique view that property rights should only pertain to physical things, and not to intellectual property. They also talk about Elon Musk opening his patents and the effects of IP law on AI. https://youtu.be/ax-QhyTGxw0?si=MyuQF4TfdeJQpQND Related: Classical Liberals, Libertarians, Anarchists and Others on Intellectual Property “The Death Throes of Pro-IP Libertarianism” (Mises Daily 2010) Yet another Randian recants on IP An Objectivist Recants on IP Pro-IP “Anarchists” and anti-IP Patent Attorneys Patent Lawyers Who Oppose Patent Law “The Four Historical Phases of IP Abolitionism” “The Origins of Libertarian IP Abolitionism” The Problem with Intellectual Property A Selection of my Best Articles and Speeches on IP Grok shownotes: Episode Overview In this episode of the Ayn Rand Fan Club, hosts Scott Schiff and William Swig engage in a thought-provoking discussion with Stephan Kinsella, a retired patent attorney, author, and libertarian thinker with a deep background in Ayn Rand's Objectivism. The conversation delves into Kinsella's journey from Objectivism to anarcho-capitalism, his critical stance on intellectual property (IP), and his broader views on libertarian principles. Recorded on August 18, 2025, the episode explores the philosophical and practical implications of IP laws, their impact on innovation, and their compatibility with property rights, while also touching on contemporary libertarian movements. Stephan Kinsella's Background and Philosophical Evolution Kinsella shares his personal journey, starting with his introduction to Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead in high school, which sparked his interest in Objectivism. Initially a “hardcore Objectivist” for eight years, he later gravitated toward Austrian economics and anarcho-capitalism, influenced by thinkers like Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard. As a patent attorney in Houston, Texas, Kinsella began questioning the validity of IP laws in the early 1990s, finding existing justifications—whether utilitarian or Objectivist—unsatisfactory. His career as a patent lawyer, paradoxically, coincided with his growing opposition to the patent and copyright system, which he argues violates fundamental property rights. Critique of Intellectual Property Kinsella's primary critique of IP centers on its violation of tangible property rights. He argues that patents and copyrights impose non-consensual restrictions, or “negative servitudes,” on how individuals can use their own property, such as a printing press or factory. Drawing from libertarian principles, he contends that property rights should stem from homesteading or contract, not state-granted monopolies. Kinsella rejects both utilitarian arguments (e.g., IP promotes innovation) and natural rights arguments (e.g., creators inherently own their ideas), asserting that there's no empirical evidence for underproduction of creative works without IP and that the concept of owning labor or ideas is flawed, rooted in a misinterpretation of John Locke's labor theory. Trademark, Defamation, and Reputation Rights The discussion extends to trademark and defamation laws, which Kinsella also opposes. He explains that trademark law, originally intended to prevent consumer fraud, has evolved into a “reputation right” that protects brands like Rolex or Chanel from dilution, even absent deception. He argues that fraud laws already suffice to address deceptive practices, rendering trademark law unnecessary. Similarly, Kinsella rejects defamation laws, asserting there's no property right in one's reputation, as it's merely others' opinions. He distinguishes incitement to violence as a separate issue,

Building international cooperation is a slow, painstaking process, one made more difficult when some people don't see the need for it. To businesses, however, international cooperation is positively necessary as a means to secure intellectual property rights, market share, and profit opportunities. In his dissertation research, Joël Praz, PhD student at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, is uncovering the significance of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, an international patents union today administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. Using numerous collections held in the Hagley Library, Praz has found that private businesses in the United States began to value international cooperation around patent law increasingly after the Second World War. In support of his work Praz received funding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

From the brand of coffee you drink, the song you like to sing, to the car you drive .. examples of intellectual property are everywhere. Which means there are also disputes over them. Right now there are two TikTok stars fighting over who owns, and I quote, "clean girl aesthetic" From October, a dedicated judicial process will be introduced in our Courts to streamline such arguments. Kate Wilson has written a book called 'The Hidden Mechanics of IP: Demystifying Intellectual Property', and tells Jesse why IP is important.

Your face unlocks your phone, animates your emoji, and verifies your identity but who actually owns the digital rights to your unique features? In this deep dive into biometric data law, we explore the high-stakes legal battles reshaping how technology interacts with our most personal physical characteristics.When Facebook paid $650 million to settle a class action lawsuit over facial recognition, it signaled a seismic shift in how companies must approach biometric data collection. We break down the landmark cases—from White Castle's potential $17 billion fingerprint scanning liability to Clearview AI's global legal troubles for scraping billions of public photos without consent. These aren't just American concerns; we journey from China, where a professor successfully sued a wildlife park over mandatory facial scans, to India's Supreme Court ruling on the world's largest biometric ID system.Beyond privacy concerns, fierce patent wars are erupting over who owns the methods for collecting and using biometric data. Companies battle over facial authentication patents worth billions while "liveness detection" technology becomes crucial in a world of deepfakes and digital impersonation. The stakes couldn't be higher as these technologies become embedded in everything from banking to border control.We untangle the global patchwork of regulations emerging to govern facial recognition, from Illinois' pioneering BIPA law to Europe's strict GDPR protections and China's surprising new limits on private biometric collection. Throughout it all, a clear trend emerges: your face isn't just data, it's your identity, and increasingly, the law recognizes that distinction.Whether you're concerned about your rights, curious about the future of facial recognition, or simply want to understand why your social media filters might be collecting more than just likes, this episode offers essential insights into the legal frameworks shaping our biometric future. Listen now to discover how to protect your digital identity in a world that increasingly wants to scan it.Send us a textSupport the show

Daniel J. Solove is the Eugene L. and Barbara A. Bernard Professor of Intellectual Property and Technology Law at the George Washington University Law School. The project of his latest book, On Privacy and Technology, is to synthesize twenty five years of thinking about privacy into a “succinct and accessible” volume and to help the reader understand “the relationship between law, technology, and privacy” in rapidly changing world. Justin Hendrix spoke to him about the book and how recent events in the United States relate to his areas of concern.

The invisible legal architecture behind AI systems, either talking to each other or failing spectacularly, takes center stage in this deep dive into interoperability. Far more than technical specifications, the ability of AI models to connect and share data represents a battlefield where intellectual property rights, competition law, and global governance clash to determine who controls the digital ecosystem.Starting with IBM's mainframe antitrust case, we trace how European regulators forced a tech giant to provide third parties with technical documentation needed for maintenance. This early precedent established that when your system becomes essential infrastructure, monopolizing access raises legal red flags. The SAS v. World Programming Limited ruling further clarified that functionality, programming languages, and data formats cannot be protected by copyright, giving developers freedom to create compatible systems without infringement concerns.Patent battles reveal another dimension of interoperability politics. Cases like Huawei v. ZTE established detailed protocols for negotiating Standard Essential Patents, preventing companies from weaponizing their intellectual property to block competitors. The Microsoft v. Motorola judgment defined what "reasonable" licensing fees actually look like, protecting the principle that interoperability shouldn't bankrupt smaller players.Google's decade-long fight with Oracle over Java API copyright culminated in a Supreme Court victory validating that reimplementing interfaces for compatibility constitutes fair use, a landmark decision protecting the ability to build systems that communicate with existing platforms without permission. Meanwhile, the Oracle v. Rimini ruling reinforced that third-party software support isn't derivative copyright infringement, even when designed exclusively for another company's ecosystem.Beyond courtrooms, international frameworks increasingly shape AI interoperability standards. From UNESCO's ethics recommendation to ISO/IEC 42001 certification, from the G7 Hiroshima AI Process to regional initiatives like the African Union's Data Policy Framework, these governance mechanisms are establishing a global language for compatible, trustworthy AI development.Whether you're building AI systems, crafting policy, or simply trying to understand why your tools won't work together, these legal precedents reveal that interoperability isn't just about good coding. It's about who controls the playground, the rulebook, and ultimately, the future of AI innovation.Send us a text

Success often boils down to one simple question: Are you willing to take the stairs while others look for the escalator? Building a thriving real estate career, growing your personal brand, and achieving true success demands effort most people aren't willing to put in. The average person chooses the easier path, hoping for shortcuts. But successful agents and investors understand that taking the stairs—doing the hard things others avoid—is what sets them apart. In today's crowded real estate market, being "just another agent" or investor won't cut it. Clients don't choose services; they choose you. A strong personal brand makes you their first choice, builds trust, and creates opportunities others never see. Without it, you're leaving deals, relationships, and income on the table. New York Times bestselling author of Take The Stairs, Hall of Fame speaker, and Co-Founder of Brand Builders Group, Rory Vaden joins me to talk about the importance of building a personal brand, why it's crucial to lock in on the one problem you can solve and the one audience you can speak to.  Successful people do things that most people aren't willing to do. -Rory Vaden   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Stairs vs. escalators Success often requires taking the harder path, like choosing the stairs over the escalator, to build discipline and resilience.

Stephan KINSELLA Counters Economist Alex TABARROK On Price Controls | Hn 149” (recorded June 25,  2025). Tabarrok seems to be generally pro-free market and an Austrian or fellow traveler. However, although he sometimes criticizes existing IP law, he is not opposed to intellectual property (IP), unlike all the cool Austro-libertarians. (( The Death Throes of Pro-IP Libertarianism. )) And he often proposes changes to IP law—sometimes outrageously goofy ones, such as his truly insane idea of replacing the patent system with $3.5 trillion worth of taxpayer subsidies (if you take his logic for a taxpayer funded "medical innovation price fund" to its limit apply it to all forms of patented innovation and other forms of IP like copyright) (( $30 Billion Taxfunded Innovation Contracts: The “Progressive-Libertarian” Solution; Libertarian Favors $80 Billion Annual Tax-Funded “Medical Innovation Prize Fund; What's Worse: $80 Billion or $30 Million?. )) or based on simplistic assertions or confusions like the idea that we can empirically know that we are on the "wrong side" of the optimal patent term length on his ridiculous "Tabarrok Curve." (( Tabarrok: Patent Policy on the Back of a Napkin; The Overwhelming Empirical Case Against Patent and Copyright; Optimal Patent and Copyright Term Length. )) So even though he's not against IP and thus not a very good libertarian, and he's not a Misesian since he seems to think utility is cardinal, measurable, and knowable, (( "The Problem with Intellectual Property" (2025), Part III.B.2. )) and he's not an IP law expert either, he keeps trotting out proposals to “reform” IP, such as, I guess, banning free trade or urging that the US engage in IP imperialism to twist the arms of other countries like Australia (see below) to adopt the stronger US patent protections that Tabarrok seems to want to reform.

Kinsella challenges the notion that former President Trump's executive order would effectively lower drug prices, arguing that the issue stems from a complex interplay of government regulations, subsidies, and intellectual property (IP) laws, particularly pharmaceutical patents. He disputes the idea that other countries "free ride" on a supposed U.S. "free market" system, emphasizing that the U.S. pharmaceutical industry is far from a free market due to patent-driven monopolies that inflate prices and restrict competition. Kinsella's critique, informed by his extensive work on IP (e.g., his discussions in the Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 469, and articles on c4sif.org), highlights how these monopolies distort market dynamics and prevent natural price equalization through arbitrage across borders. The conversation also addresses Tabarrok's arguments, as discussed in his interview with Bob Murphy, particularly the concept of the "Tabarrok Curve," which posits an optimal level of IP protection to maximize innovation. Kinsella rejects this, asserting that pharmaceutical patents are not the definitive case for IP necessity, as they often delay generic drugs, skew research toward profitable rather than essential medicines, and raise costs for consumers. He points to industries like fashion and software,

The line between groundbreaking innovation and controversial ownership blurs when scientists begin creating life in laboratories. What happens when your invention isn't just a device or chemical formula, but a living, breathing, self-replicating organism that refuses to stay contained within traditional legal boundaries?Synthetic biology—the field where engineering meets genetics—has created a perfect storm for intellectual property law. Scientists can now design cells like software, program bacteria to clean oil spills, and edit genes with CRISPR technology. But who owns these inventions when they start reproducing themselves?From the landmark 1980 Chakrabarty decision that first allowed patents on genetically modified bacteria to the controversial Myriad Genetics case that determined human genes cannot be patented, we explore the fascinating legal battles that shaped biotech innovation. We journey through courtrooms worldwide where judges grappled with unprecedented questions: Can you patent a cloned sheep? Should farmers be allowed to replant patented seeds? Does traditional knowledge about medicinal plants deserve protection from corporate "biopiracy"?The legal landscape continues evolving, with a brand new WIPO treaty requiring disclosure of genetic resources' origins in patent applications. This represents a major shift toward transparency and fairness, especially for communities whose biodiversity and traditional knowledge have contributed to modern innovations.Whether you're a scientist, lawyer, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the legal frameworks governing emerging technologies, this episode offers crucial insights into how intellectual property systems are adapting to the brave new world where the line between invention and life itself becomes increasingly blurred.

From the minute we are born, we become tax slaves to the State. We are issued our identification numbers, injected with poisonous vaccines, and put on the stroll to earn some money for our pimp in Washington D.C. There are ways to break free, and Bradley Freedom can explain how to do it with Freedom Pillars. There is currently institutional control of the five pillars, but there are ways to stop being government property. His newest software venture is Chain Recorder, which runs on the Bitcoin blockchain and provides verification services for industries looking to add documents to the permanent record. Intellectual Property will eventually be moving to the blockchain as a way of documenting ownership, combined with timestamping. It is certainly better than filing documents at the county clerk's office.
