Podcasts about Patent

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!

I am Rolf Claessen and my Co-Host Ken Suzan and I are welcoming you to episode 166 of the IP Fridays Podcast. Today's interview guest is Joshua Cunnington, who is Managing Associate at Stephenson Harwood in the UK. My Co-Host Ken Suzan talks with him about an update on Trademark Caselaw in the UK, e.g. […]

Marty talks about a new precision fit patent filed for Apple Vision ProProNotesA Future Version of Apple's Vision Pro may provide users with a Precision Fit through Dynamic Adjustment Mechanismshttps://www.patentlyapple.com/2025/08/a-future-version-of-apples-vision-pro-may-provide-users-with-a-precision-fit-through-dynamic-adjustment-mechanisms.html The gist: Apple just had a patent spotlighted that's all about a “precision fit” Vision Pro—hardware that dynamically adjusts (think buttons/levers/dials, possibly motor-assist) to match each person's head and face. What Apple's aiming to fix: Current headsets (including today's Vision Pro) rely on manual straps and swapping cushions—fine, but fiddly—and comfort can drift during longer sessions. Apple's patent pushes toward auto-tuning hardware that gets you into the sweet spot faster and keeps you there. How it might work :- Dynamic supports: A headset frame that actively redistributes pressure so you don't get forehead/cheek hot spots. - Smart light seal concepts: Related Apple filings describe air bladders/valves that balance pressure across face zones—tight where you need it, forgiving where you don't. - Guided fit is the point: All of this is about landing your eyes in the optical “sweet spot” quickly and repeatably—clearer picture, less strain. (IPD alignment = sharper visuals is a known VR truth.) Why users should care:Comfort goes up, face marks go down. Longer, easier sessions. Faster hand-off: Family or teammates can throw it on and get tuned quickly—less strap fussing. More consistent clarity: Staying centered improves text and UI readability and reduces fatigue. Why this could advantage Apple vs. competitors:- Closed-loop fit (hardware + software): If Apple marries sensors, adjustable seals, and on-device guidance, you get a set-and-forget fit most rivals can't match with manual strap/IPD dials. - Perceived quality without new screens: Better, repeatable alignment makes the whole system feel sharper and more premium—no panel change required. - On-boarding win: Less tinkering = more people actually enjoying the demo, which matters for adoption. Where we are today: Vision Pro already uses swappable Light Seals/cushions and bands to improve fit; the patent path suggests Apple wants to automate more of that. Caveat: Patents ≠ products. Timelines aren't promised, but Apple's recent filings draw a clear line: comfort and precision fit are priority areas for the next wave of Vision hardware. Bottom line: If Apple ships even part of this self-tuning fit stack, Vision Pro could feel lighter, clearer, and friendlier to share—a practical edge that's hard for manual-only headsets to match.Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher serviceMacStockMacstockconferenceandexpo.com Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.Net

This Day in Legal History: Organic Act Establishes the National Park ServiceOn August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, formally establishing the National Park Service (NPS) as a federal bureau within the Department of the Interior. This act marked a foundational moment in U.S. environmental and administrative law, as it created a centralized agency responsible for protecting and managing the country's growing number of national parks and monuments. Prior to this, national parks were overseen in a disjointed manner by various federal departments, often with limited resources or clear guidance. The Organic Act provided legal authority for the NPS to “conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein,” while ensuring they remained “unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.”This statutory language introduced a lasting legal standard—the dual mandate of conservation and public enjoyment—that has guided U.S. park policy ever since. The law empowered the federal government to enforce regulations, manage visitor access, and develop infrastructure while preserving natural and cultural resources. Over time, this act laid the groundwork for the modern administrative state's role in environmental regulation. It also reflected an early recognition that public land could and should serve both ecological and civic functions.The NPS Organic Act helped inspire future legislation, including the Wilderness Act of 1964 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. It also fueled legal debates around resource extraction, tribal land claims, and federalism. With the stroke of Wilson's pen, the United States committed itself to a legal philosophy of stewardship, enshrining the idea that public lands are a shared national trust. This day in legal history commemorates the birth of a legal and cultural institution that continues to shape American land use and environmental governance.Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom advised Intel Corp. in securing an $8.9 billion government investment deal, which includes granting the U.S. a 10% equity stake in the chipmaker. The agreement, announced by President Trump, comes months after Skadden and eight other major law firms pledged nearly $1 billion in free legal services in coordination with the White House. These services support causes such as veterans' advocacy, fighting antisemitism, and promoting justice system fairness. The firms reportedly entered the arrangement, in part, to avoid being targeted by executive orders that had been used against competitors.Skadden's role reflects its ongoing alignment with the administration's industrial and legal policy efforts, particularly as Intel seeks revitalization. The Federal Circuit also recently ruled that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) wrongly dismissed one of Intel's patent invalidity arguments against a competitor, bolstering Intel's broader legal position. Separately, Kirkland & Ellis, another participating firm, has been involved in U.S. trade negotiations with Japan and Korea, facilitated by Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn. The president has indicated he may rely further on these firms for legal matters related to tariffs, coal, and defense of law enforcement. Skadden's leadership emphasized internally that the firm retains full autonomy in client and case decisions.Skadden Steers Intel in Deal With Trump to Boost ChipmakerKilmar Abrego, a 30-year-old migrant whose wrongful deportation to El Salvador had made national headlines, was detained again by U.S. immigration authorities in Baltimore just days after being released from criminal custody in Tennessee. His 2019 asylum protections had barred deportation to El Salvador due to threats from gangs, but he was nonetheless removed in March in what officials later admitted was an “administrative error.” After months in a harsh Salvadoran prison, he was brought back to the U.S. in June to face criminal charges for transporting undocumented migrants, to which he has pleaded not guilty.Upon checking in with ICE in Baltimore, Abrego was arrested again and is now facing possible deportation—this time to Uganda, a country with no connection to him. U.S. officials have reportedly offered Costa Rica as a destination if he agrees to a guilty plea, but without that, Uganda remains the likely alternative, a move his legal team argues is unconstitutional and coercive. His lawyer described the tactic as the government using “Costa Rica as a carrot and Uganda as a stick.”Abrego has filed a federal lawsuit to prevent deportation without judicial review and is currently protected by a Maryland court order requiring 72-hour notice before any removal to a third country. His legal team is also seeking to dismiss the federal charges, alleging selective and retaliatory prosecution tied to his earlier challenge of the unlawful deportation. A Tennessee federal judge previously found him neither a flight risk nor a public threat, supporting his release. The case continues to spotlight the legal complexities and rights violations emerging under the Trump administration's immigration policies.Wrongly deported migrant Abrego again detained by US immigration officials | ReutersA U.S. federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump's administration from withholding federal funds from over 30 sanctuary cities and counties, including Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and Baltimore. The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge William Orrick, expands a previous injunction from April that protected 16 jurisdictions. These cities had challenged two executive orders signed by Trump earlier in the year, arguing they unlawfully threatened to strip funding unless local authorities cooperated with federal immigration enforcement.Sanctuary jurisdictions typically limit how much local police assist with federal civil immigration arrests. Judge Orrick ruled that the executive orders posed an unconstitutional, coercive threat by conditioning federal funding on compliance with federal immigration preferences. His new order extends protections to additional cities that recently joined the lawsuit. He emphasized that any further actions or executive orders pursuing the same goal are likewise blocked under his injunction.The Trump administration had already appealed the earlier ruling, and the White House has not commented on the latest expansion. Separately, California Governor Gavin Newsom is suing over Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles following protests related to federal immigration enforcement.Judge blocks Trump from withholding funds from Los Angeles, other sanctuary cities | ReutersA recent legal dispute between Apple and medical device maker Masimo is testing the boundaries of U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) authority in enforcing patent-related import bans. The case began when CBP seized five Apple Watches in Chicago due to an International Trade Commission (ITC) exclusion order, issued after Masimo successfully argued that Apple's blood-oxygen sensor infringed its patents. However, CBP later approved Apple's software workaround—which shifts blood-oxygen processing to a paired iPhone—without notifying Masimo, prompting the company to sue.Masimo argues CBP overstepped its enforcement role by effectively ruling on a patent dispute without an adversarial process, thereby undermining the ITC's authority. The lawsuit claims the workaround still infringes under the "doctrine of equivalents," which treats minor design changes as infringing if they achieve substantially the same result. Legal experts note that CBP is not equipped to handle complex questions of indirect or contributory infringement, which could occur when a product only violates a patent when used in combination with another device.The case raises due process concerns, especially as CBP's later ruling was issued ex parte—without Masimo's input—despite an earlier inter partes process. Legal observers see this as part of a larger structural flaw in how CBP and the ITC coordinate enforcement of exclusion orders. The ITC has acknowledged the lawsuit and may intervene, signaling that the dispute could influence broader agency practices. If successful, Masimo could seek enforcement penalties from the ITC, potentially up to $100,000 per day. This litigation follows a rare legal path similar to a 2013 Microsoft case against CBP that ended in settlement.Apple Watch Import Ban Work-Around Suit Tests Customs' IP Role This is a public episode.

Marty introduces new information about a potential new battery integration in future Vision Pro headsetsToday's ProNote: Patent for a new battery integrationApple Reinvents Battery Design for Vision Pro Headset to Improve Efficiencyhttps://www.macobserver.com/news/apple-reinvents-battery-design-for-vision-pro-headset-to-improve-efficiency/ Apple has patented a new battery integration method for its Vision Pro headset, aiming to improve both power efficiency and portability.• The innovation embeds batteries directly into the headset's structural guide rails, which adjust the optical modules. This design boosts battery capacity without increasing the device's size or weight.• By turning hollow guide rails into battery housings, Apple eliminates the need for separate battery casings. This streamlines the internal layout, reduces complexity, lowers weight, and enhances packaging efficiency.• The guide rails still allow smooth interpupillary distance adjustments, maintaining functionality while providing energy storage.• The rails use composite materials for thermal resistance and mechanical strength, supporting both durability and reliable battery performance.• This embedded battery system can work alongside a main power source: it allows the headset to run in low-power modes, provides backup power during reboots, and helps retain memory functions when unplugged.• Each guide rail connects directly to the logic board, and configurations can range from one to four rails—enabling flexible and modular power management for future headset models.• The design is adaptable for different uses, supporting variations in battery number and placement based on specific product requirements.• Apple's approach addresses the main challenge for XR headsets—balancing high power demands with lightweight, comfortable form factors—potentially setting a new industry direction for more ergonomic and portable devices.• This advance could be a major step towards solving the persistent problems of power limits and bulkiness in augmented and virtual reality headsets, without sacrificing user comfort or key features.Email us at ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com. Website: ThePodTalk.Net

The U.S. judiciary announced plans to increase security for sensitive information on its case management system following what it described as “recent escalated cyberattacks of a sophisticated and persistent nature.” In a Thursday statement, the federal judiciary said it's “taking additional steps to strengthen protections for” that information. It also said its “further enhancing security of the system and to block future attacks, and it is prioritizing working with courts to mitigate the impact on litigants.” The statement from the third branch comes one day after a Politico report revealed that its case filing system had recently been breached. That report cited unnamed sources who were concerned that the identities of confidential court informants may have been compromised. While the federal courts' statement acknowledged a recent escalation in cyberattacks on its case management system, it didn't confirm details of the reported breach. In response to a FedScoop request for additional information about the reported attack, a spokesman for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts declined to comment and pointed back to the statement. The reported hack and statement come after a cyberbreach of the same system in 2020. In early 2021, during a hack of SolarWinds' Orion products, the federal courts disclosed that it found “apparent compromise” of the Case Management/Electronic Case Files system (CM/ECF) and was investigating the matter. Its statement after that breach similarly indicated that “federal courts are immediately adding new security procedures to protect highly sensitive confidential documents filed with the courts.” Jamie Holcombe is joining Maryland-based technology company US AI after wrapping up roughly six-and-a-half years as the chief information officer of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Holcombe, who served as both CIO and chief AI officer at USPTO, will be vice president of the AI firm, with a focus on scaling its technology throughout the federal government, according to a Thursday announcement from US AI shared with FedScoop. Holcombe's last day at the agency was Wednesday, according to a USPTO spokeswoman. Deborah Stephens, deputy CIO for the agency, will serve as acting CIO. At USPTO, Holcombe oversaw “one of the federal government's largest IT transformations,” per the announcement. That work included leading the agency's transition to a cloud-first environment and the launch of its AI Lab, where USPTO can test use cases. As part of his new role, Holcombe will work to expand US AI's Intelligent Computing Platform, which is aimed at accelerating the adoption of AI in sectors that are highly regulated, across government. He will also lead the company's strategy to align its technology with its use in public sector and regulated areas, scaling codeless and zero-trust tools, and build on the company's “values of clarity, security, and accessibility in AI deployment.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Guess what: your million-dollar idea isn't safe. Not unless you know the difference between a patent, a trademark, and a trade secret.  In this episode, Matt and Lou sit down with IP attorney Austin Bonderer to reveal the legal toolbox small businesses and startups need to protect what matters most: your ideas, brand, and secret sauce. They dive into patent basics, trademark headaches, global filing strategies, AI risks, and trade secrets worth their weight in gold. Here's what you'll learn: ✅ Patents = a government‑granted monopoly (the why and how) ✅ The three must-have criteria: useful, novel, unobvious ✅ Design patents cover looks; utility covers functionality ✅ Trademarks aren't just logos; they protect consumers by preventing confusion ✅ Patent trolls explained; intellectual property as investment ✅ Global patents via PCT; 30-month deadline to enter country filings ✅ Trade secrets = your unregistered secret sauce (think Coca‑Cola recipe) ✅ AI disclosures can kill your patent (think twice before feeding it secret ideas) ✅ Public domain explosion: patents expire after ~20 years; copyrights ~90 years + life Who is Austin? Austin Bonderer is the founder of the Law Offices of Austin Bonderer, dedicated solely to intellectual property. A former patent examiner and stalwart lawyer, his passion is helping entrepreneurs actually protect their work without draining their budgets.

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

Rachel Blackman-Rogers and Catherine Scheybeler, both of King's College London, join Alex Stevenson for an in-depth look at one of Horatio Nelson's most famous formative battles. The Royal Navy in the 1790s was always going to do well against the Spanish Navy, but it was Nelson's decisive use of initiative - and then the double-boarding to capture not one but two Spanish ships his Captain had become entangled with - which marked this battle out.

This Day in Legal History: Patent Office OpenedOn this day in legal history, July 31, 1790, the United States issued its first patent under the newly created Patent Act of 1790. The inaugural patent was granted to Samuel Hopkins of Vermont for a process of making potash, an essential industrial chemical used in soap and fertilizer production. Signed by President George Washington, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, and Attorney General Edmund Randolph, this first patent reflected the constitutional mandate to “promote the progress of science and useful arts.”The Patent Act established a system that allowed inventors to secure exclusive rights to their inventions for a limited time, fostering a culture of innovation. Unlike today's process, early patents required a review by a board of Cabinet-level officials and carried no numbering system—Hopkins' patent is only retroactively considered Patent No. 1.This moment marked the beginning of formal intellectual property protection in the U.S., setting the foundation for one of the world's most robust patent systems. The legal infrastructure created that year would evolve into the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, playing a central role in industrial and technological development over the next two centuries. It was a clear sign of the young republic's commitment to innovation through legal means.A White House report released Wednesday by President Trump's crypto working group calls for swift regulatory action on digital assets. The administration urged Congress to pass a comprehensive crypto bill, such as the Clarity Act, while advocating for key additions. These include allowing platforms to both trade and hold crypto, and tailoring disclosure requirements for crypto securities. The report also recommends giving the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) authority over crypto spot markets and embracing decentralized finance technologies.In addition to legislative suggestions, the White House wants the SEC and CFTC to act under their current powers to enable federal-level trading of digital assets. The report promotes using tools like safe harbors and regulatory sandboxes to accelerate access to new financial products, including tokenized assets like real estate and stocks. This approach reflects Trump's broader campaign promise to foster crypto innovation, in sharp contrast to the Biden administration's enforcement-heavy stance, which included lawsuits against major exchanges that have since been dropped.Despite concerns over potential conflicts of interest—given Trump's family's crypto ventures and his personal stake in a crypto platform—the administration has denied any impropriety. The report's findings could significantly shape the direction of ongoing legislative negotiations and regulatory frameworks.White House in crypto policy report calls for SEC action, new legislation | ReutersA proposed budget from the U.S. House of Representatives threatens major cuts to the federal public defense system, according to a July 25 memo from Judge Robert Conrad, director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. If enacted, the judiciary warns it may be forced to eliminate more than 600 positions in the Defender Services program or delay payments to court-appointed defense attorneys by over two months—potentially the longest such delay ever.The $8.9 billion budget plan advanced by the House Appropriations Committee's financial services subcommittee increases overall judiciary funding by 3.5%, but it still falls significantly short of what the courts requested. Specifically, the $1.57 billion allocated to Defender Services is $196 million less than needed, despite being an 8.2% increase from the previous year. This shortfall could impair the judiciary's ability to meet its constitutional obligations under Gideon v. Wainwright, which requires that indigent criminal defendants receive legal representation.The judiciary is also currently experiencing a funding gap that has already caused a three-month delay in payments to Criminal Justice Act (CJA) panel attorneys. Without additional funding, the delay could extend to 77 days next year, further weakening the public defense infrastructure. The judiciary has asked for $116 million in supplemental funding to stabilize the program.The full House Appropriations Committee is not expected to take up the bill until September, and the Senate has not yet released its version.US House budget threatens over 600 public defender jobs, judiciary warns | ReutersUber is facing a pivotal legal challenge in California state court over its responsibility to protect riders from sexual assault by its drivers. A hearing before Judge Ethan Schulman will determine whether hundreds of consolidated cases move forward as bellwether jury trials this fall. These cases center on whether Uber should be liable for assaults allegedly committed by drivers who, plaintiffs argue, exploited Uber's lack of mandatory training, in-vehicle cameras, or stricter vetting.Uber defends itself by claiming drivers are independent contractors and that criminal behavior is unforeseeable, not the company's legal responsibility. It points to safety measures like GPS tracking and background checks as fulfilling its obligations. However, plaintiffs argue that Uber promoted itself as a safe alternative for intoxicated riders and should be held to the higher duty of care expected of a “common carrier,” similar to taxi services.A central legal issue is whether Uber's conduct constitutes misfeasance—actively creating risk—or nonfeasance—failing to prevent harm. Under California law, a company with a “special relationship” with its customers, like a common carrier, must exercise “utmost care.” A federal judge has already ruled that Uber qualifies as a common carrier in related litigation.Uber's broader legal strategy has included challenging consolidated suits through the Ninth Circuit and supporting a Nevada ballot measure to limit plaintiffs' attorneys' fees—both of which failed. Legal experts note Uber faces an uphill battle, as courts are increasingly viewing ride-hailing platforms as more than passive intermediaries.Uber's Legal Duty to Riders at Forefront of Mass Assault CasesEric Tung, President Trump's nominee for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, defended controversial past remarks on gender roles during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday. Democratic senators, particularly Alex Padilla and Dick Durbin, pressed Tung over statements he made as a Yale undergraduate in 2004, where he criticized radical feminists and asserted that gender roles support institutions like marriage. Padilla called the comments “reprehensible,” while Durbin challenged Tung's recent views as expressed at a Federalist Society event, where Tung appeared to reject constitutional protections for abortion, same-sex marriage, and private sexual conduct.Tung explained that his undergraduate comments were based on his belief at the time that men and women had complementary roles and that the family should be strengthened. He noted that his wife has had a distinguished professional and political career, arguing she excels in many areas. Though he affirmed that Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage, is binding precedent, he declined to discuss his personal views on gender roles, citing potential future cases.Tung, a former clerk for Justices Scalia and Gorsuch and a partner at Jones Day, emphasized his originalist and textualist judicial philosophy. Despite strong backing from Republicans on the panel, Democrats criticized his ideological leanings and questioned his fitness for a lifetime appointment to the influential appellate court.Trump appellate court nominee defends comments on 'gender roles' | Reuters This is a public episode.
