"If you're not first, you're last!" This week on IP Goes Pop!®, co-hosts Michael Snyder and Joseph Gushue chase down "IP firsts" and explain why these origin stories still matter to creators, brands, and inventors today. The episode opens with our hosts' personal firsts (early movie-theater memories, ticket-counter hijinks). Then the discussion shifts to media milestones, including the first televised commercial during a live sports broadcast, the first laugh track, and the first prime-time animated series. Moving from the screen to intellectual property firsts. Michael and Joe explain how the early United States patent system looks nothing like what we know today, how the Supreme Court invalidated the first trademark granted, which led to a reboot of the whole trademark system. Finally, they look in their own backyard of Philadelphia for "copyright firsts," with the 1790 copyright registration for the Philadelphia Spelling Book. This episode of IP "firsts" isn't just a collection of fun facts. Knowing the roots of intellectual property helps with understanding how ideas and designs are protected today. The episode explains the rules that guide the IP process, why they changed, and what that means when you're protecting a brand, a product, or a creative work today. What will your IP protection "first" be? For full show notes and to explore more episodes, please visit www.vklaw.com/newsroom-podcasts.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world.Today, we delve into the latest from an industry that continues to break new ground in both scientific innovation and regulatory landscapes. The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are buzzing with activity as companies engage in bold strategies and face significant challenges in their quest for groundbreaking treatments.A recent event illustrating the high-stakes nature of this industry involves Novo Nordisk and its decision to conduct a head-to-head clinical trial for Cagrisema against Eli Lilly's Zepbound. This trial, which typically occurs post-approval, was conducted at the candidate stage. Novo Nordisk aimed to establish market dominance by proving superiority early on. However, the trial did not go as planned, with Cagrisema failing to outperform Zepbound. This outcome serves as a reminder of the competitive dynamics in early-stage testing and the strategic risks companies are willing to take in their bid for market leadership.Meanwhile, Gilead Sciences has made a bold move with a $7.8 billion investment in Arcellx, focusing on CAR T-cell therapy. This investment highlights Gilead's commitment to advanced cancer treatments, particularly Anito-cel for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. CAR T-cell therapies involve modifying a patient's T-cells to target cancer cells more effectively, representing a significant leap forward in oncological treatments. With an FDA decision anticipated by December 2026, Gilead's investment underscores its strategic focus on transformative therapies that could redefine cancer care.In legal news, Regenxbio has secured a notable victory against Sarepta Therapeutics regarding adeno-associated virus (AAV) technology patents. The appeals court ruling in favor of Regenxbio emphasizes the intricate nature of patent law in biotechnology, where innovations often intersect with naturally occurring biological processes. This decision not only solidifies Regenxbio's intellectual property but also sets a precedent for future patent disputes within the sector.On the regulatory front, Vanda Pharmaceuticals has rebounded from previous setbacks by securing FDA approval for drugs targeting bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. This achievement marks a promising shift for Vanda, demonstrating resilience and adaptability in redirecting focus towards neuropsychiatric conditions. The approval expands therapeutic options for these complex disorders, addressing long-standing unmet needs within mental health care.Despite these advancements, some areas continue to face hurdles. Gene therapies like Casgevy and Lyfgenia for sickle cell disease have struggled to gain traction two years post-launch. These therapies promise a one-time cure by correcting genetic defects but have encountered challenges in achieving widespread adoption. The difficulties reflect broader issues in transitioning from clinical success to market viability.Moreover, workforce reductions at major companies such as Bristol-Myers Squibb and Catalent signal structural changes within the industry. These layoffs may indicate shifts in strategic focus or responses to evolving market pressures as companies strive for efficiency and innovation.Regulatory practices are also undergoing scrutiny as the FDA considers defaulting to single clinical trial requirements for drug approvals. While this move could streamline development processes, it raises concerns about maintaining rigorous safety standards—a balance that remains crucial as companies push to bring innovative treatments to market swiftly yet safely.The dynamic nature of this industry is further highlighted by Candel Therapeutics' recent $100 million royalty deal aimed at launching its prostate cancer treatment. This strategic move underscores growing interest in innovative oncology solutions thaSupport the show

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Markus Buehler, the McAfee Professor of Engineering at MIT, to explore how seemingly different systems—from proteins and music to knowledge structures and AI reasoning—share underlying patterns through hierarchy, self-organization, and scale-free networks. The conversation ranges from the limits of current AI interpolation versus true discovery (using the fire-to-fusion example), to the emergence of agent swarms and their non-linear effects, to practical questions about ontologies, knowledge graphs, and whether humans will remain necessary in the creative discovery process. Markus discusses his lab's work automating scientific discovery through AI agents that can generate hypotheses, run simulations, and even retrain themselves, while Stewart shares his own experiences building applications with AI coding agents and grapples with questions about intellectual property, material science constraints, and the future of human creativity in an AI-abundant world.Timestamps00:00 - Introduction to Marcus Buehler's work on knowledge graphs, structural grammar across proteins, music, and AI reasoning05:00 - Discussion of AI discovery versus interpolation, using fire and fusion as examples of fundamental versus incremental innovation10:00 - Language models as connective glue between agents, enabling communication despite imperfect outputs and canonical averaging15:00 - Embodiment and agency in AI systems, creating adversarial agents that challenge theories and expand world models20:00 - Emergent properties in materials and AI, comparing dislocations in metals to behaviors in agent swarms25:00 - Human role-playing and phase separation in society, parallels to composite materials and heterogeneity30:00 - Physical world challenges, atom-by-atom manufacturing at MIT.nano, limitations of lithography machines35:00 - Synthetic biology as alternative to nanotechnology, programming microorganisms for materials discovery40:00 - Intellectual property debates, commodification of AI models, control layers more valuable than model architecture45:00 - Automation of ontologies, agent self-testing, daughter's coding success at age 1150:00 - Graph theory for knowledge compression, neurosymbolic approaches combining symbolic and neural methods55:00 - Nonlinear acceleration in AI, emergence from accumulated innovations, restaurant owner embracing AI01:00:00 - Future generations possibly rejecting AI, democratization of knowledge, social media as real-time scientific discourseKey Insights1. Universal Patterns Across Disciplines: Seemingly different systems in nature—proteins, music, social networks, and knowledge itself—share fundamental structural patterns including hierarchy, self-organization, and scale-free networks. This commonality allows creative thinkers to draw insights across disciplines, applying principles from one domain to solve problems in another. As an engineer and materials scientist, Buehler has leveraged these isomorphisms to advance scientific understanding by mapping the "plumbing" of different systems onto each other, revealing hidden relationships that enable extrapolation beyond what's observable in any single domain.2. The Discovery Versus Interpolation Problem: Current AI systems, particularly large language models, excel at interpolation—recombining existing knowledge in new ways—but struggle with genuine discovery that requires fundamental rewiring of world models. Using the example of fire versus fusion, Buehler explains that an AI trained on combustion chemistry would propose bigger fires or new fuels, but couldn't conceive of fusion because that requires stepping back to more fundamental physics. True discovery demands the ability to recognize when existing theories have boundaries and to develop entirely new frameworks, something current AI architectures aren't designed to achieve due to their training objective of predicting the most likely outcome.3. The Role of Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs: While some AI researchers argue that ontologies are unnecessary because models form internal representations, Buehler advocates for explicit knowledge graphs as essential discovery tools. External ontologies provide sharp, analytical, symbolic representations that complement the fuzzy internal representations of neural networks. They enable verification of rare connections—like obscure papers that might hold key insights—which would be averaged away in standard AI training. This neurosymbolic approach combines the generalization capabilities of neural networks with the precision of formal knowledge structures, creating more powerful discovery systems.4. Emergent Properties and Agent Swarms: Just as materials science shows that collections of atoms exhibit properties impossible to predict from individual components, AI agent swarms demonstrate emergent behaviors beyond single models. When agents are incentivized not just to answer questions but to challenge each other adversarially, propose theories, and test hypotheses, they can spawn new copies of themselves and evolve understanding beyond their initial programming. This emergence isn't surprising from a materials science perspective—dislocations, grain boundaries, and other collective phenomena only appear at scale, fundamentally determining material behavior in ways unpredictable from studying just a few atoms.5. The Commoditization of Intelligence: The fundamental AI models themselves are becoming commodities, as evidenced by events like the Moldbug phenomenon where people built agents using various providers interchangeably. The real value is shifting from who has the smartest model to how models are orchestrated, integrated, and deployed. This parallels historical technology adoption patterns—just as we moved past debating who makes the best electricity to focusing on applications, AI is transitioning from a horse race over model capabilities to questions of infrastructure, energy, access speed, and agent coordination at the systems level.6. Human-AI Collaboration and Creative Control: Rather than wholesale replacement, AI enables humans to operate in an intensely creative space as orchestrators sampling from vast possibility spaces. Similar to how Buehler's 11-year-old daughter now builds sophisticated applications that would have required professional developers years ago, AI democratizes access to capabilities while humans retain the creative judgment about direction and meaning. The human role becomes curating emergence, finding rare connections, playing at the edges of knowledge, and exercising the kind of curiosity-driven exploration that AI systems lack without embodied stakes in their own survival and continuation.7. Technology as Evolutionary Inevitability: The development of AI represents not an unnatural threat but the next stage of human evolution—an extension of our innate drive to build models of ourselves and our world. From cave paintings to partial differential equations to artificial intelligence, humans continuously create increasingly sophisticated representations and tools. Attempting to stop this technological evolution is futile; instead, the focus should be on steering it ...

Rob received a message from a fly tier accusing him of appropriating their intellectual property. His Etsy shop features a number of original flies as well as several inspired by others, with appropriate credit given when necessary. The sender of the messages has appeared on Rob's podcast in the past, indicating they are not unfamiliar with one another. However, the tone of the messages lacked any reference to their prior interactions, making it seem as if they were meeting for the first time. Who holds the moral high ground in this situation? Is Rob profiting from someone else's work? Is the creator of the original flies asserting their rights over the design that Rob has tied? Is the original fly's name appropriated from someone else and thus making the complaint analogous to the pot calling the kettle black? Should fly patterns be eligible for copyright protection?

Bright lights, louder headlines, and a legal backbone strong enough to hold the biggest cultural moment of the year. We take you past the scoreboard and into the systems that make the Super Bowl work: broadcast rights that cross borders, trademarks that protect trust, and licensing strategies that turn 15 minutes of halftime into global memory. Along the way, we unpack the real moves behind “The Big Game,” from satellite transmissions and domain seizures to creative constraints that spark better ads, cleaner stages, and fewer courtrooms.We start with the money plays—why transmissions count as public performances and how that doctrine funds the spectacle you watch on Sunday. Then we head online, where domain names masquerade as jerseys and UDRP panels yank them back before kickoff. The anti-piracy blitz gets real with Operation In Our Sites, a coordinated push that seizes illegal streaming hubs and undercuts counterfeit merch so legitimate broadcasts and brands can win the night.Advertising sits on a razor's edge. We explore the Tom Waits soundalike ruling to show how a voice can be identity, not a shortcut, and revisit the Beastie Boys' stance to prove “not an ad ad” is still advertising when it moves product. Music is protected IP even when your campaign hides outside the 30-second slot, and endorsement risk turns on what viewers feel, not what disclaimers claim. That nuance becomes a blueprint for modern marketers: leverage cultural moments without impersonating people or implying NFL sponsorship.Ambush marketing gets a fair shake, too. Courts have long allowed expressive references to major events while drawing a hard line at official-looking promotion. We share practical examples—billboards near stadiums, social posts that capture live moments, playful language aimed at parties and community—that ride the wave without borrowing league equity. And we end on the most surprising truth: halftime stays lawsuit-free not by luck, but by ruthless planning. Every song, visual, and contract is cleared early so art can soar at speed.If you care about creativity, brand safety, or the craft of putting culture on a clock, this conversation maps the terrain.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a fascinating array of stories that highlight the scientific advancements, regulatory updates, and strategic maneuvers shaping our industry.Let's begin with Biogen's efforts to breathe new life into its spinal muscular atrophy treatment, Spinraza. In response to declining sales, Biogen is launching a high-dose version in Japan, aiming to enhance therapeutic efficacy and regain market competitiveness. This move underscores the company's strategy to offset projected revenue declines by 2026. The decision to pursue this high-dose version reflects Biogen's commitment to maintaining its foothold in a challenging market landscape where innovation is key to survival.Shifting gears to regulatory news, the FDA, led by Commissioner Marty Makary, has taken a firm stance against the proliferation of illegal copycat drugs. This announcement comes on the heels of Hims & Hers' controversial introduction of a compounded version of Novo Nordisk's obesity drug, Wegovy. The FDA's commitment to protecting intellectual property and patient safety is crucial in an era where health tech firms increasingly challenge traditional pharmaceutical boundaries. Novo Nordisk's aggressive marketing strategy for Wegovy, including a high-profile Super Bowl advertisement, highlights the competitive pressures in this growing market segment and underscores the legal tensions between established pharma giants and emerging tech-driven companies.In an unexpected turn of events, BridgeBio faced a significant setback as Pfizer withdrew its tafamidis patent in Europe. This led to a notable drop in BridgeBio's stock price and raised concerns about earlier generic entries into the ATTR-CM market. Such developments signal potential shifts in market dynamics and pricing strategies that companies must navigate carefully.On the clinical front, Bayer's phase 3 study of asundexian has demonstrated remarkable results—a 26% reduction in stroke risk. This positions Bayer favorably against competitors Bristol Myers Squibb and Johnson & Johnson, setting a new benchmark in the high-stakes anticoagulant market. Innovation continues to be paramount as companies strive for superior clinical outcomes that can significantly impact patient care.Regulatory landscapes are evolving as well, with Gilead's Yescarta receiving clearance for expanded use. These milestones are crucial for broadening therapeutic indications and enhancing patient access, underscoring ongoing efforts to address unmet medical needs while sustaining growth trajectories.Meanwhile, Pfizer-backed Priovant has reported promising mid-stage results for brepocitinib in treating dermatomyositis and other rare skin conditions. As a TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor, brepocitinib exemplifies precision medicine's expanding role in addressing autoimmune disorders through targeted therapies.The IPO scene remains vibrant with Agomab Therapeutics and Spyglass Pharma making substantial entries into Nasdaq, collectively raising $350 million. This influx indicates continued investor confidence in biopharma innovation despite broader economic uncertainties—a testament to the sector's resilience and potential for groundbreaking advancements.Corporate dynamics are also shifting as seen with Moderna's Chief Medical Officer Jacqueline Miller stepping down after a brief tenure. Leadership changes such as these often signal strategic realignments within companies as they adapt to complex regulatory environments and competitive pressures.Summarizing these developments illustrates a dynamic landscape marked by scientific innovation, regulatory vigilance, and strategic marketing initiatives. As companies strive for competitive advantage through new drug formulations and market expansions, they must also navigate legal challenges and regSupport the show

Think a lost patent ends the story? We unpack how Lego turned a single technical invention into a platform for decades of innovation, brand power, and adult creativity. Starting with the 1958 stud-and-tube coupling, we explain what the original brick patent really covered, why its expiry didn't sink the company, and how modern patents protect motion, mechanisms, and programmable systems rather than basic interlocking. From there, we map the rest of the toolkit: trademarks for source identity, design rights for appearance, and copyrights for expressive elements.We also dive into the courtroom rulers that drew bright lines on functionality. Attempts to trademark the brick shape faltered in Canada and the EU because function can't double as a brand signifier, while the minifigure shape prevailed as a 3D trademark. A later EU design-rights win showed that even bricks have protectable visual features when not purely functional. Enforcement cases against Best-Lock and Lepin underline how copyrights and trade dress defend minifigures, packaging, and character designs across markets.Then we switch from courts to culture. Lego's adult strategy blends nostalgia with display-worthy design: Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series, sleek Architecture skylines, and the Botanical collection that doubles as decor. Black-box, 18+ packaging telegraphs “made for you,” and the brand leans into mindful building as a calming, creative ritual. Finally, we explore Lego Serious Play, an open-source methodology that spreads fast through facilitators while the company retains the brand and sells specialized kits.

In this episode of Carlsbad: People, Purpose and Impact, host Bret Schanzenbach sits down with Bennett Mann, valuation specialist and business broker with The Chase Group, to talk about what it really takes to build – and successfully sell – a small business.Bennett, a San Diego native and SDSU economics grad with additional business analysis training from UCSD, shares his career path through valuation roles at Bank of America, CoreLogic, and consulting for Fortune 500 companies. He explains how those experiences led him to focus on privately held small businesses and helping owners plan their “third chapter.”You'll hear:Why only 15–30% of small businesses that go on the market actually sellHow to avoid being one of the 70–85% that simply close their doorsWhat a valuation specialist does and how Bennett helps owners understand their current market valueThe danger of being an owner-dependent “lifestyle business” vs. building a transferable companyWhy clean, credible financial records are non-negotiable if you want buyers to take you seriouslyHow to turn your “secret sauce” into documented intellectual property and processesDifferent types of buyers: family, employees, strategic buyers, and private equityWhy you should start planning your exit 3–5 years before you want to sellBennett's love of Carlsbad's outdoor life, from Batiquitos Lagoon to Lake CalaveraWhether you're years away from selling or just starting to think about your next chapter, this episode will help you look at your business through a buyer's eyes and start making decisions that increase both its value and your freedom.Connect with Bennett MannLinkedIn: Bennett MannEmail: bennett@chasegroup.usTune in to Carlsbad: People, Purpose and Impact to learn how to build a business that can thrive – and sell – without you.Quotes“Most businesses that don't sell have one thing in common: the owner is the business.”“Clean books are what sell businesses. Buyers have to be able to trust your numbers.”“Documenting your ‘secret sauce' turns what's in your head into real, transferable value.”“Two businesses can have the same bottom line, but the one that runs without the owner is worth far more.”“The ideal time to plan your exit is three to five years before you want to sell – or when you start the business.” Did this episode have a special impact on you?

Can you copyright a horoscope, enhance a century-old tarot deck and claim protection, or assign your stage name and lose it in court? We open the year by charting the legal sky where creativity, belief, and branding intersect—and sometimes collide. From a syndicated astrologer's claim that near-identical forecasts kept running without a license, to a software company's short-lived effort to assert control over historical time zone data, we unpack the crucial line between ideas and expression, facts and creativity, public domain and protectable derivative work.We also step into the studio with the icons. The Walter Mercado saga reveals how a personal brand can be transformed into a trademark owned by someone else, with lasting consequences for the artist behind it. Along the way, we explore what separates simple restoration from original creativity in tarot publishing, why databases of raw facts remain free for all, and how small wording choices in daily horoscopes can carry real legal weight. The thread tying it all together: the cosmos is shared; the way we package it is not.Expect practical takeaways for creators, publishers, and entrepreneurs: register original writing, document design decisions, start from public-domain sources rather than competitors' upgrades, and read every clause before assigning names, logos, or likenesses. If you're building an astrology app, launching a zodiac product line, or reviving classic esoteric art, this deep dive will help you navigate trademarks, copyrights, and contracts without dimming your creative light.Enjoy the episode?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is forcing legal systems worldwide to confront fundamental questions about creativity, ownership, and identity. Can companies train algorithms on copyrighted works without permission? What happens when technology makes it easy to clone someone's voice or face? In this episode of Brand & New, host Willard Knox speaks with two attorneys at the forefront of these rapidly evolving issues. Lynn Oberlander is Co-Editor of the Practising Law Institute's (PLI) comprehensive new treatise, Artificial Intelligence & Intellectual Property, which brings together leading practitioners to address the most pressing legal challenges in AI. Catie Seibel Sinitsa is the co-author the chapter covering copyright and AI. Ms. Oberlander has spent almost 25 years counseling media and entertainment companies on intellectual property (IP) and First Amendment issues. Ms. Sinitsa specializes in copyright and trademark law, working with clients across fashion, media, among other industries. Together, they unpack how this evolving technology is reshaping long-standing IP principles and why these questions are no longer theoretical but urgent, real-world concerns. This episode of Brand & New is sponsored by PLI. For more than 90 years, the Institute has helped legal professionals stay at the forefront of knowledge and expertise through world-class continuing legal education.

Send us a textIn this show, the boys tackle a couple of subjects...Firstly, they discuss whether a disease of the brain causes addiction or whether it all actually begins with a poor decision.Secondly, they discuss who owns ideas? Does the intellectual property and trademarking system actually cause more problems than it actually hopes to fix?But what are your thoughts on any of these subjects? Do you agree with Tony or Tayo, or do you have different views?Tune in and listen to the discussion. Please let us have your comments on these subjects.Links used during the show:-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVdaFQhS86EAlthough we much prefer effusive praise
In this episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole explains why intellectual property is becoming the most important cybersecurity priority for organizations as artificial intelligence accelerates innovation and imitation. As AI makes products, services, and content easier to replicate, traditional approaches to data security are no longer enough. Dr. Cole breaks down why trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets are now the true differentiators in the market and how failing to protect them directly impacts company valuation and competitiveness. Looking toward 2030 and beyond, this episode challenges outdated security models and shows how cybersecurity, AI, cloud, and IT must align around protecting intellectual property as a unified strategy. Dr. Cole shares practical guidance on identifying an organization's most valuable IP, closing gaps between legal policy and technical controls, and using AI defensively to stay ahead of competitors and emerging threats. This episode is essential listening for CISOs, executives, and board leaders focused on long term growth, security, and business value.

Ownership of Knowledge: Beyond Intellectual Property (MIT Press, 2023) provides a framework for knowledge ownership that challenges the mechanisms of inequality in modern society. Scholars of science, technology, medicine, and law have all tended to emphasize knowledge as the sum of human understanding, and its ownership as possession by law. Breaking with traditional discourse on knowledge property as something that concerns mainly words and intellectual history, or science and law, Dagmar Schäfer, Annapurna Mamidipudi, and Marius Buning propose technology as a central heuristic for studying the many implications of knowledge ownership. Toward this end, they focus on the notions of knowledge and ownership in courtrooms, workshops, policy, and research practices, while also shedding light on scholarship itself as a powerful tool for making explicit the politics inherent in knowledge practices and social order. The book presents case studies showing how diverse knowledge economies are created and how inequalities arise from them. Unlike scholars who have fragmented this discourse across the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, and history, the editors highlight recent developments in the emerging field of the global history of knowledge—as science, as economy, and as culture. The case studies reveal how notions of knowing and owning emerge because they reciprocally produce and determine each other's limits and possibilities; that is, how we know inevitably affects how we can own what we know; and how we own always impacts how and what we are able to know.

In this episode of Resilience Unraveled, Russell welcomes Daniel Lachman to discuss the pressing issue of intellectual property rights for artists. Lachman, who previously ran a successful clothing company, pivoted to founding 'Justice for Artists' after dealing with extensive counterfeiting of his own designs. He explains the intricacies of copyright law in the US, how his organization helps artists protect their work, and the substantial financial impact counterfeiters can have. Through legal means, including freezing accounts and filing lawsuits, 'Justice for Artists' aims to educate creators on how to safeguard their intellectual property and pursue justice against counterfeiters. Lackman also addresses common misconceptions about the service and emphasizes the importance of resilience in the creative marketplace.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:56 Daniel's Journey: From Clothing Company to Justice for Artists02:25 Understanding Intellectual Property and Copyright04:59 Challenges and Solutions in Counterfeiting10:31 Legal Actions and Profit Margins13:52 Connecting with Justice for Artists18:23 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com#resilience, #burnout, #intuition
In this special episode, Leticia Caminero steps into the guest's seat to explore the ideas behind her book Protection for the Inventive Mind. Through an honest and reflective conversation, she shares how creativity, human-centered design, and intellectual property come together to turn fragile ideas into real, sustainable value. This episode is an invitation to think differently about innovation, protection, and the courage to build with intention.Ever had an idea feel bright in the shower and dim by lunchtime? We open the door to a different path: a living, pencil-in-hand guide for taking an idea from spark to market with intellectual property as structure, not handcuffs. Leticia moves from host to guest to share why she wrote Protection for the Inventive Mind and how it helps creators make small daily moves that reduce anxiety, protect originality, and build sustainable income.We walk through the mindset shift that turns books into workspaces and readers into builders. Instead of chasing a finish line like “file the patent,” we reframe protection as a bridge to value—licensing, partnerships, investment, and fair deals. You will hear how to sequence complexity, choose what to cut without losing the soul of the idea, and align patents, utility models, or industrial designs with a clear strategy. The String of Thought method takes center stage: an honest chain that captures fear, sparks, contradictions, and breakthroughs without polishing too soon. That chain becomes both creative x-ray and strategic map, revealing what deserves protection and where the market fit can take root.From user-first thinking to documentation practices that stand up in conflict, we stitch together design thinking, practical IP, and monetization in a humane way. This is about creative justice: giving your idea the structure it needs to breathe, be recognized, and be paid. If you are tired of vague advice and hungry for a process that respects both magic and rigor, this conversation will meet you where you are and move you one concrete step forward today.If this episode helps you see your idea more clearly, share it with a friend who needs a nudge.

Well, that's it, I guess. That show with the lady talk-fighting with the hive mind, is done. The show with the 80s kids fighting scary monsters is done. The show with the sad kid in a giant robot fighting angels has been done for like 30 years. Everything is ending. But don't fear, cause like the pheonix that is Intellectual Property, just give it like 15 years and it will be back, baby! I just hope that Timothee Chalamet Jr. plays me. I know he's not born yet, but that kid has a future ahead of him. Anywho, I now present you with the last WRYAT episode. It's been since 20X9 or something and you all have been listening to us talk about boats to puppets to bags of chips. So give your earholes one last treat as you pretend to be nice to family members who no longer give you a rando $5 just cause you're a cutie pie.

Welcome to our Christmas episode of Radio Free Endor #119 And its The Podcast Before Christmas.. After an eight-month break, Chris and I are finally back behind the mics, catching up on what we've been up to — from new jobs to changing tech and how it's all shaken up our day-to-day lives. We dive headfirst into the latest Star Wars news, breaking down recent trailers and chatting about the much-talked-about partnership between Disney and OpenAI. That leads us into a wider discussion about AI, creativity, and the future of content creation, and how this tech could shape entertainment going forward. There's plenty of classic Radio Free Endor chatter too — including some brilliant Star Wars merchandise, from themed dartboards and darts to collectibles that really caught our eye. We also wander into gaming territory, talking about highlights from The Game Awards, the reveal of Star Wars Galactic Racer, and the long-awaited Knights of the Old Republic remake. Along the way, we touch on everything from Tomb Raider's future, Columbia's Endor collection, and even some unexpected tech talk (yes, including cars and LIDAR). It's a relaxed, festive catch-up packed with Star Wars, gaming, tech, and the usual Endor-fuelled tangents. Grab a drink, settle in, and join us back on Endor.

A coalition of privacy defenders led by Lex Lumina and the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a lawsuit on February 11 asking a federal court to stop the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from disclosing millions of Americans' private, sensitive information to Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE). As the federal government is the nation's largest employer, the records held by OPM represent one of the largest collections of sensitive personal data in the country.Is this a big deal? Should we care? Joining Pam today is Stanford Law Professor Mark Lemley, an expert in intellectual property, patent law, trademark law, antitrust, the law of robotics and AI, video game law, and remedies. Lemley is of counsel with the law firm Lex Lumina and closely involved in the DOGE case. In this episode, Lemley overviews urgent privacy concerns that led to this lawsuit, laws such as the Privacy Act, and legal next steps for this case. The conversation shifts to the current political landscape, highlighting the unprecedented influence of Silicon Valley, particularly under the Musk administration. Lemley contrasts the agile, authoritative management style of Silicon Valley billionaires with the traditionally slow-moving federal bureaucracy, raising concerns about legality and procedural adherence. The conversation also touches on the demise of the Chevron doctrine and the possible rise of an imperial presidency, drawing parallels between the Supreme Court's and the executive branch's power grabs—and how Lemley's 2022 paper, "The Imperial Supreme Court," predicted the Court's trend towards consolidating power. This episode offers a compelling examination of how technological and corporate ideologies are influencing American law.Links:Mark Lemley >>> Stanford Law page“The Imperial Supreme Court” >>> Stanford Law publication pageConnect: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(00:00:00) The Rise of Executive Power(00:07:22) Concerns About Data Handling and Privacy(00:08:41) The Impact of Silicon Valley's Ethos on Government(00:14:01) The Musk Administration's Approach(00:18:01) The Role of the Supreme Court(00:24:43) Silicon Valley's Influence on Washington Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Copyright law used to be considered a quiet, "boutique" field—but things have changed. With the rise of AI and global digital marketplaces, copyright has transformed into a high-stakes battlefield. We sit down with Kristyn Webb, a copyright litigator at Fishman Stewart, to discuss how technology is rewriting the concept of ownership and why firms are desperate for new experts in "Soft IP".In this episode, we cover:The AI Revolution: How the legal world is grappling with training data, generated outputs, and the lack of global consensus on AI copyright.Global Enforcement: Why copyright lawyers need to look beyond lawsuits and work with Customs and Border Protection to stop infringing goods before they enter the country.The Human Element: The importance of understanding "moral rights" and protecting an artist's legacy (and immortality).Career Advice: Why you shouldn't be discouraged if you don't land an IP job immediately, and how "side quests" like clerking can make you a better litigator.Click here to view the episode transcript.

China's Intellectual Property Theft and the K-Shaped Economy: Colleague Chris Riegel discusses "The Great Heist," a book detailing China's campaign to steal American intellectual property via spies and students, also noting a US consumer slowdown and describing a "K-shaped" economy where lower-income earners struggle with affordability despite infrastructure spending. 1955
PREVIEW — Chris Riegel — "The Great Heist": China's Intellectual Property Theft Strategy. Riegel argues that Chinahas systematically employed intellectual property theft as a strategic mechanism to advance from technological desperation toward status as a near-peer American rival, systematically acquiring technologies while circumventing legitimate licensing and development pathways. Riegel documents that American corporations frequently ignored or tolerated Chinese IP theft in exchange for access to the lucrative Chinese domestic market, including the Cisco-Huaweicase illustrating corporate preference for market access over intellectual property protection. Riegel acknowledges that China now conducts original research and technological innovation, yet systematically rejects international intellectual property law regimes and refuses to recognize or enforce IP rights, maintaining institutional resistance to the legal frameworks protecting legitimate innovation and development within Western economies. 1922
There's a word that's gained a lot of popularity in the last year: “ensh*ttification”. It refers to a trajectory many see with digital platforms: they initially offer immense value to users, only to systematically degrade that quality over time in order to extract maximum surplus for shareholders. We invited the coiner of this term, science fiction author and activist Cory Doctorow, on the podcast to discuss whether he thinks this decline is an inevitable feature of digital markets or a consequence of specific policy failures. And, most importantly, how he thinks it could be reversed.For Doctorow, "ensh*ttification" is not simply a result of "revealed preferences", where users tolerate worse service because they value the platform, but rather the outcome of a regulatory environment that has permitted the creation of high switching costs and the elimination of competitors. Doctorow also argues that historically, interoperability acted as an engine of dynamism, allowing new entrants to lower the barriers to entry. But current IP frameworks, such as anti-circumvention laws, have been "weaponized" to prevent this, effectively allowing firms to enforce cartels and engage in rent-seeking behavior.Finally, Doctorow offers a critical assessment of the current AI boom, arguing that the sector is creating "reverse centaurs", where human labor is conscripted to correct algorithmic errors, and warns of a potential asset bubble driven by inflated revenue attribution.

While collecting the Rivals Editions, a Hasbro game called Pictureka came up. Turns out, this 2006 game by designers Glenn D'Hondt, Arne Lauwers, and Sylvia Meert, two of which also did the artwork, fits the profile of what I am researching. It has multiple versions, including a card game, a Kube game (not dice), and even a few Intellectual Properties thrown in for good measure.What struck me was, I had never heard of this game, and it is almost 20 years old, and I did not recognize the box art once I looked into it.In Pictureka, you and your opponents race to find things in the very busy tiles that make up the board. The game's tagline is: Find it Fast! Find it First! I procured both the original game and the Rivals Edition, to see what I had been missing.Directing people to the get the games tab
In Cox Communications, Inc. v. Sony Music Entertainment, the Supreme Court is set to determine whether an internet service provider can be held liable—and deemed to have acted willfully—for copyright infringement based solely on its knowledge of user misconduct and its failure to terminate those users’ access. Sony Music and a group of music publishers sued Cox, alleging that its subscribers illegally downloaded copyrighted works through Cox’s network. The Supreme Court will review a 4th Circuit ruling holding that an internet service provider could be liable for vast copyright damages because it took insufficient steps to disconnect IP addresses accused of downloading copyrighted material. Oral argument is set for December 1. Join us for a post-oral argument Courthouse Steps program where we will break down and analyze how this oral argument went before the Court. Featuring: Devlin Hartline, Senior Fellow, Forum for Intellectual Property, Hudson Institute (Moderator) Prof. Zvi Rosen, Associate Professor, UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law
