From mortgaging his house for a used “bug truck” to commanding Ohio's slickest 10,000-sq-ft “Beehive” HQ, Jason Carpenter has turned Environmental Pest Management into the Midwest's apartment-pest juggernaut—servicing 1 million+ units with a patented data platform (“Pest Genius”) and a 3,000-page digital playbook that lets the business run while he's on the back nine. Sit in with the Blue-Collar Twins as Jason lays out: Door-Knock Origins → $350 K Contract – how a single 50-unit bed-bug job snowballed into a $300 K+ recurring deal and rewired his focus from homes to high-density housing.Pest Genius – the in-house software (and patent) that tracks every unit, photo, KPI and health-department audit across millions of square feet.EOS + Family Power – wife Karen (COO), son Brandon (VP) and daughter Kayla (content chief) running weekly scorecard L10s while Jason stays out of the office—unless he's eaten or played 18.Net over Vanity – why a Franco Giannamore valuation wake-up call pushed margins from “meh” to mission-critical and reset his eight-year, $20 M/20 % BHAG.Golf, Barter & Brand – converting country-club barters into 100+ clients and why density beats door-to-door for long-term wealth.Exit Options – succession plans, EBITDA realities and the number that makes walking off the course worth it. Stick around for Jason's candid take on therapy-backed leadership, mastermind ROI, and why every technician needs to read their P&L.

This week on End Credits we're once again celebrating #PedroSummer! (Patent pending.) The movie this time is a supposed romantic story that a lot of people are watching and having big discussions about. We're going to check out Materialists, and we're also going to start counting down to an other milestone episode with our favourite gimmick! This Wednesday, June 25, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: 21st Century Horror (Not a) Draft. This week we start the countdown to the 400th episode, which will be our 21st century movie draft, and to kick things off, we're talking about horror movies. (Why not? Candice is here!) So the first in a series of three drafts/not-drafts - meaning similar rules but no stakes - we will talk about some of the great horror movies of the century so far from new and old franchises to elevated horror. REVIEW: Materialists (2025). Celine Song's first movie, Past Lives, was universally beloved (including by the people on this show), but her follow-up film, Materialists, has generated somewhat more... mixed feelings. The plot follows a high-end matchmaker (Dakota Johnson) who gets caught between a wealthy hedge fund guy (Pedro Pascal) and her poor cater-waiter/actor ex (Chris Evans). It's a classic rom-com set-up, but this is not a rom-com as Song undermines all expectations, so what do we make the most talked about movie of the year? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Ocean Power Technologies Inc CEO Philipp Stratmann talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's newly awarded patent for integrated offshore charging systems. Stratmann explained how the technology will allow autonomous surface and underwater vehicles to recharge and transfer data at sea, significantly improving mission endurance and operational flexibility. "You could imagine a system where you have a whole bunch of forward deployed permanent sentinels,"* Stratmann said, describing potential applications in defense, energy security, and marine research. He emphasized that combining the PowerBuoy® with WAM-V® platforms can support a wide range of payloads and speeds, enabling operations almost anywhere in the ocean. Stratmann also outlined steps toward commercialization, including last summer's high-fidelity prototype deployment off the coast of New Jersey and ongoing discussions with government agencies and commercial partners. He noted that the company is working to bring the integrated solution to market and believes the patent strengthens its intellectual property portfolio.

At a Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio, a packet of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum became the first ever product to have its barcode scanned - at 8:01 a.m. on June 26th, 1974. Inspired by the morse code training of his Boy Scout days, Norman Joseph Woodland first sketched out a barcode on a Florida beach in 1948, drawing dots and dashes in the sand. Together with fellow Drexel Institute graduate student Bernard Silver, he received a U.S. Patent in 1952 - but it would be another 20 years before IBM produced the technology that could be rolled out to grocery stores. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the invention accelerated the growth of the largest retailers; consider Woodland's original ‘bullseye' barcode design; and reveal why conspiracy theorists think barcodes are the DEVIL's work… Further Reading: • ‘How the barcode changed retailing and manufacturing' (BBC News, 2017): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38498700 • ‘N Joseph Woodland obituary' (The Guardian, 2012): https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/dec/16/n-joseph-woodland • ‘How Do Barcodes Work?'

Genius doesn't come with a price tag until someone tries to take it from you. When brilliant minds create groundbreaking innovations during employment, who truly owns these inventions? This fascinating legal arena pits creators against corporations in battles that can span decades and result in multi-million-dollar verdicts.Meet John Peterson, the engineer who refused to surrender his weekend projects to a convenience store chain that claimed everything he created, even off the clock. His story of fighting Bukies' overreaching employment contract offers a masterclass in standing up for your intellectual property rights. Then there's Professor Shanks, whose glucose biosensor technology earned his employer £24 million. In comparison, he received nothing until a twenty-year legal battle culminated in a £2 million award and a landmark UK Supreme Court decision on "outstanding benefit."From patent grammar wars where a single verb tense determined ownership of HIV diagnostic technology to post-employment clauses that tried to claim an inventor's future ideas, we explore the fine print that can make or break inventor fortunes. We'll take you around the globe from Germany's sophisticated formulas for inventor compensation to China's statutory minimum payouts, revealing how different legal systems value creative minds. Whether you're sketching brilliance on napkins or developing prototypes in corporate labs, understanding your rights as an inventor has never been more crucial. As workplace innovation drives the modern economy, the law is finally catching up to ensure the minds behind the magic receive their fair share.Send us a text

John Quinn is joined by Caleb Harris, Co-Founder and CEO of &AI, a startup focused on using artificial intelligence to transform patent litigation.   They discuss how &AI uses AI to accomplish complex patent litigation tasks such as invalidity and infringement analysis, dramatically reducing the time and cost associated with these traditionally labor-intensive efforts.  The service features four components: searches for prior art or infringing products, in-depth legal analysis (including creating claim charts), drafting litigation-ready documents like invalidity contentions or IPR petitions, and automating workflows using AI agents that operate independently.Patent litigation is particularly well-suited to AI because so much of the underlying data—such as patent filings, litigation histories, and prosecution records—is publicly available.  &AI continuously updates its data sets and can provide summaries, detailed claim charts, and customized drafts in as little as 10 minutes.  Unlike generative AI tools, &AI minimizes hallucinations by relying heavily on document retrieval rather than generation, and by providing verified citations in its output.The platform can also help streamline early-stage litigation decisions, such as assessing the strength of a patent portfolio or evaluating potential infringement claims in the marketplace.  It also helps defense teams efficiently assess and respond to weak claims, including those from patent trolls, by producing tailored response letters and evidence.&AI uses AI agents—AI that develops multi-step plans to accomplish tasks and automatically adjusts those plans based on how the work is progressing.  This allows the user to focus on the end product they want rather than the steps needed to get there.  AI agents will enable faster, more scalable, and more economically viable litigation, especially patent litigation.  This may lead to a boon for litigators as more lawsuits are filed and resolved quickly.  Although human performance will remain crucial in areas like persuading a jury or a judge, law firms may gain a competitive edge by pairing their expertise with firm-specific AI tools trained on the firm's proprietary data and preferred styles.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

"Everybody has value to give." “It's not a game breaker, it's a game changer.” “How are you doing that differently? How are you going to stand out from the crowd?”   Episode summary | In this episode of the ROG Return on Generosity podcast, host Shannon Cassidy interviews Yvette Thornton, a registered patent agent and advocate for innovation and women in leadership. Yvette shares her journey from growing up on a farm in Virginia to her career in intellectual property, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, empowerment, and generosity. She discusses her advocacy for the National Down Syndrome Society, her experiences in patent law, and the lessons learned from her upbringing that shape her leadership style. The conversation also touches on navigating career transitions, the power of community, and the significance of recognizing one's own value and strengths.   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Leadership is about recognizing and valuing everyone's contributions. Empowering women in leadership roles is crucial for industry transformation. Advocacy for individuals with Down syndrome is about recognizing their abilities. Intellectual property protects innovations and encourages creativity. Listening and asking the right questions are key skills in patent law. Transitioning careers involves self-discovery and recognizing one's strengths. Generosity can come from unexpected places and has a ripple effect. It's important to grieve the loss of a job and give oneself time to heal. You are enough; own your strengths and contributions.   Chapters |  00:00 Introduction to Yvette Thornton and Her Journey 03:20 Growing Up on the Farm: Roots and Values 06:16 Influence of Family and Community on Leadership 08:59 Empowering Women in Leadership through WICT 11:57 Advocacy for Down Syndrome Awareness 14:48 Understanding Intellectual Property and Patents 15:43 The Journey to Becoming a Patent Agent 18:23 Innovations and Patents: The Impact of Ideas 21:21 Listening and Questioning: Keys to Innovation 23:10 Navigating Project Management and Innovation 24:34 Advice for Innovators: Protecting Your Ideas 26:34 Understanding Patents and Intellectual Property 27:48 The Power of Generosity in Professional Transitions 31:14 Embracing Career Transitions and Self-Discovery 35:27 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing Your Value 39:00 The Importance of Asking for Help 42:15 Empowerment and Believing in Your Worth 43:21 Recharge and Leadership Style   Guest Bio | Yvette Thornton, a registered patent agent, is the driving force behind Clarke Innovations LLC, where she advises organizations on innovation strategies, operational improvements and intellectual property (IP).  Her work focuses on the intersection of engineering and IP, expanding access to patenting, and fostering innovation-driven cultures.  In her previous role as Director of Patent Development at Comcast NBCUniversal, Yvette collaborated with engineers and senior leaders to identify and capture innovation across the company. Yvette's impact extended beyond idea generation; she developed internal patent process, launched an Employee Recognition Program and created “Girl Storm” a program supporting women in patenting. Yvette began her IP career as a Primary Patent Examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. She holds a M.S.  in Chemistry from the University of Virginia and a B.S. from Norfolk State University, where she was a Dozoretz National Institute for Mathematics and Applied Sciences (DNIMAS) Scholar.

And FDA and Patent Reform: A Modest Proposal *** From my Mises blog post a year ago: How to Improve Patent, Copyright, and Trademark Law Archived comments (below) January 13, 2010 by Stephan Kinsella As I note in my article “Radical Patent Reform Is Not on the Way,” Mises Daily (Oct. 1, 2009), there is a growing clamor for reform of patent (and copyright) law, due to the increasingly obvious injustices resulting from these intellectual property (IP) laws. However, the various recent proposals for reform merely tinker with details and leave the essential features of the patent system intact. Patent scope, terms, and penalties would still be essentially the same. In the second article of this two-part series, “Reducing the Cost of IP Law,” Mises Daily, published today, I propose various reforms to the existing patent system–short of abolition–that would significantly reduce the costs and harm imposed by the patent system while not appreciably, or as significantly, reducing the innovation incentives and other purported benefits of the patent system.

Buckle up for a high-speed legal adventure through the automotive industry's most consequential intellectual property battles. From Formula One espionage that cost McLaren $100 million to landmark rulings that protect the very shape of your car, we're lifting the hood on how innovation is fueled, protected, and occasionally stolen in the world of wheels.The modern automobile isn't just a mechanical marvel—it's a rolling portfolio of intellectual assets. We examine how Ferrari's trade secrets became the center of motorsport's biggest scandal, why even windshield wipers can trigger multi-million dollar lawsuits, and how Jeep successfully defended its iconic seven-slot grille from imitators. These aren't just courtroom dramas; they're case studies in how IP shapes everything you drive.As cars become computers on wheels, we explore new frontiers in automotive IP. BMW's battle against unauthorized 3D models raises profound questions about brand protection in digital realms. Patent pools like Avanci demonstrate how competitors can share essential technologies while still competing fiercely. And as autonomous vehicles race toward reality, we reveal why engineers have become "walking USB drives" of valuable trade secrets.Whether you're fascinated by classic cars or electric futures, these legal showdowns reveal the invisible forces designing tomorrow's driving experience. Discover why automotive innovation isn't just about what's under the hood—it's about what's inside the contracts, patents, and courtrooms that determine which technologies hit the road and which remain on the drawing board.Send us a text

Behind every pixel, mechanic, and character design lies a hidden battlefield where intellectual property law shapes the games we play. From energy drinks to tattoos, the unlikely legal showdowns that define modern gaming are stranger than fiction.Play IP Sidequest Showdown. An escape-room-style game inspired by this episode. Drop a comment if you cracked the code. Monster Energy's aggressive pursuit of any game title containing the word "monster" forced Ubisoft to abandon "Gods and Monsters" despite zero connection to beverages. When NBA 2K rendered LeBron James's tattoos with perfect detail, the copyright holders demanded millions—only to have the courts rule that realistic depictions qualify as fair use. And who knew that the shattered glass texture in Resident Evil was actually a photographer's copyrighted work, leading to one of the largest copyright claims ever filed by a single artist against a game studio?The patent wars are equally fascinating. Nintendo secured a $30 million settlement from fellow Japanese developer Colopl over touch controls—yes, the way your finger moves across a screen can be proprietary. Sega claimed ownership of gacha mechanics where duplicate characters fuse to unlock abilities. And Palworld's "Pokémon with guns" approach triggered Nintendo's legal team to pursue patent infringement rather than the expected copyright route.Even legends aren't immune. Diego Maradona discovered his likeness in Pro Evolution Soccer without permission, leading to a lawsuit that transformed into a sponsorship deal. Meanwhile, Call of Duty successfully defended using Humvees in-game without a license, establishing crucial First Amendment protections for realistic depictions in interactive entertainment.These cases reveal the invisible forces shaping what makes it to our screens. Next time you're playing your favorite game, remember that behind every design decision might be a legal battle that determined not just how the game looks, but how it fundamentally works.

This Day in Legal History: Blue Jeans PatentedOn May 20, 1873, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted Patent No. 139,121 to Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss for an innovation that would revolutionize American workwear and fashion: the use of copper rivets to reinforce the stress points on men's work pants. Davis, a tailor from Reno, Nevada, originally developed the concept after customers complained about the durability of their trousers. He lacked the funds to file for a patent on his own, so he partnered with Strauss, a San Francisco dry goods merchant who had been supplying him with fabric. The riveted pants were constructed from denim—a sturdy cotton twill that Strauss already sold—which was tough enough for laborers, miners, and cowboys during the American Westward Expansion.The legal protection granted by the patent secured exclusive rights for Strauss and Davis to produce the reinforced trousers, giving them a significant advantage in the market. This protection enabled Levi Strauss & Co. to expand rapidly and establish itself as a dominant force in durable clothing for manual laborers. The patent also illustrates how intellectual property law can incentivize practical innovation by providing a framework for commercial exclusivity.While the original patent expired in 1890, the riveted jean had by then become an entrenched part of American identity. The evolution of the product—from utilitarian workwear to a global fashion staple—highlights how a simple legal instrument can underpin lasting commercial success. The legal recognition of their invention helped formalize what would become a uniquely American contribution to the world's wardrobe. Strauss and Davis's patent remains one of the most iconic examples of how intellectual property law intersects with design, utility, and culture.As federal AI regulation lags, state attorneys general (AGs) are stepping into the void by using existing laws—such as consumer protection, privacy, and anti-discrimination statutes—to govern the use of generative AI technologies. Although only California, Colorado, and Utah have passed AI-specific legislation, AGs across other states are issuing formal guidance and taking enforcement actions to address AI misuse. Key concerns include the use of personal data, deepfakes, fraudulent representations, and algorithmic bias in sectors like hiring, healthcare, and lending.California AG Rob Bonta has warned that AI tools causing misleading or discriminatory outcomes may violate state law, especially in sensitive fields like health and employment. Massachusetts AG Joy Campbell cautioned that misrepresenting AI capabilities or using AI-generated content to deceive consumers could breach the state's Consumer Protection Act. Oregon's guidance focuses on transparency, privacy, and anti-discrimination concerns, requiring consent for data use and allowing opt-outs from significant AI-based decisions. New Jersey's AG launched a Civil Rights and Technology Initiative targeting algorithmic bias, noting that even third-party tools can trigger liability under anti-discrimination laws. Texas AG Ken Paxton reached a settlement with an AI health tech firm over potentially misleading marketing, marking the first known AG enforcement action under consumer protection law involving generative AI.A Reuters column by Ashley Taylor of Clayton Friedman and Gene Fishel of Troutman Pepper Locke LLP emphasizes that companies cannot assume regulatory immunity simply because AI tools are new or complex. Liability can arise from disparate impacts alone, even absent intent to discriminate. Firms must carefully audit their AI systems, clarify marketing claims, and ensure fair and secure implementation across jurisdictions. Given the fragmented legal landscape, businesses should involve legal and technical leadership early in AI deployment to reduce risk exposure.State AGs fill the regulatory voidThe long-running feud between Donald Trump and New York Attorney General Letitia James has escalated sharply with a federal investigation now targeting James herself. Trump, having returned to the White House, now has the Justice Department behind him, while James continues to lead Democratic opposition through lawsuits challenging his policies. Both known for their combative styles, the two have clashed over ideology, politics, and Trump's business practices.The new front in their battle involves allegations that James committed mortgage fraud, based on documents where she allegedly misrepresented her primary residence and misstated details about her Brooklyn property. The Justice Department, acting on a referral from a federal housing agency, is investigating the claims through its offices in Virginia and New York. James's lawyer denies wrongdoing, saying the filings were accurate in context and reflect long-standing property use.James has framed the investigation as retaliation for her successful legal actions against Trump, including a high-profile civil fraud suit that resulted in a $450 million judgment against him for inflating asset values. Trump and his allies have attempted to link James's alleged conduct to the very behavior she prosecuted, suggesting hypocrisy.Despite the legal risks, the public feud may benefit both figures politically. James faces re-election in 2026, and her confrontation with Trump plays well with Democratic voters. For Trump, casting James as a corrupt adversary energizes his base. Their mutual antagonism has become a defining feature of New York's political and legal landscape.Donald Trump and Letitia James Raise Stakes in Bitter Feud - WSJThis week in my column for Bloomberg, I argue that House Republicans' push to repeal major clean energy tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act is a short-sighted move that prioritizes fiscal optics over long-term national interest. While they claim to be reducing the deficit, the repeal would do little to constrain the $3.7 trillion cost of extending Trump-era tax cuts that largely benefit the wealthy. The energy credits being cut were not handouts but performance-based incentives—rewards for building, hiring, and deploying clean tech—that sparked a manufacturing and jobs boom, particularly in red states like Georgia and Tennessee.Eliminating these credits would introduce severe policy instability, undermining both current and planned investments. Companies made long-term siting and hiring decisions based on stable tax incentives; reversing them now would not only threaten those investments but signal to global capital markets that the U.S. is an unreliable industrial partner. I emphasize that the structure of the law—tying incentives to emissions reductions—was one of its best features, offering predictability that's now at risk.This volatility would be a gift to America's competitors. The EU and China are doubling down on green industrial policy, while the U.S. risks stalling momentum just as it began catching up. Trust in federal policy durability isn't easily regained once lost. The repeal wouldn't just cost jobs or projects—it would damage the credibility of American industrial policy in a global race where we're already behind. This is a public episode.

Can you patent an illegal invention? What about trademarking a product that breaks federal law—or copyrighting something downright criminal? In this episode of The Patenting for Inventors Podcast, you'll learn about the surprising differences in how U.S. intellectual property law treats illegality. From patented bongs to denied THC trademarks, you'll learn where the USPTO draws the line—and where it doesn't.

Before Google Maps. Before smartphones. Before Silicon Valley gave mobile a second thought — the Blumberg brothers were strapping GPS units to PalmPilots and piping real estate data through them. In this episode, Nick Smoot sits down with Brad and Eric Blumberg, the underdog inventors who quietly pioneered location-based real estate search and filed the first patents that would later shape the mobile experience we take for granted.From living a few blocks apart in Jersey to battling billion-dollar giants over the definition of “proximate,” the brothers share their wild ride through invention, patent wars, early startup life, and building trust with major partners before “startup” was even a cultural word.This one's about grit, timing, vision — and being early enough that people thought you were crazy.They were the first to hack GPS and mobile devices to make real estate location-aware.At a time when telecom was obsessed with “minutes,” they were shouting: “It's about data.”Selling a vision is often harder than building the tech.They faced deep skepticism from insiders who couldn't see the future — yet.Real innovation demands a shift in perception — and persistence when no one's clapping yet.They proved you could shop for homes on a tiny screen long before Zillow or Redfin.Innovation often starts by refusing to follow the rules everyone else takes for granted.They stuck to their vision even through lawsuits, economic downturns, and tech shifts.Progress doesn't happen in a straight line — it's messy, hard, and worth it.At the center of it all: understanding real user needs, not just market trends.Check out AstorKey, their newest innovation using encrypted, decentralized data to rethink how mortgages are done — without giving up your identity to the internet forever.
