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.

Den Begriff Fraunhofer haben die meisten Menschen schon gehört. Doch nur die wenigsten wissen, dass sowohl die MP3, die weiße LED als auch der Airbag auf Erfindungen der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft basieren. "Jedes Smartphone auf der Welt hat Fraunhofer-Patente", sagt Holger Hanselka im ntv-Podcast "So techt Deutschland". Der Präsident der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will dafür sorgen, dass viele weitere Innovationen folgen, die auch in der Industrie Anwendung finden.Deutschland ist in vielen Bereichen führend in der Forschung. Es hapert jedoch daran, die Ergebnisse in tragfähige Geschäftsmodelle zu überführen. Zahlreiche Experten kritisieren diesen Missstand.Hanselka sieht die Lage nicht ganz so negativ. Niemand frage sich, wie es sein könne, "dass ein Land, das nicht einmal zwei Prozent der Weltbevölkerung ausmacht, zu den drei größten Exportnationen gehört". Er fordert mehr Selbstbewusstsein - ohne die Schwächen auszublenden: "Wir exportieren, weil andere unsere tollen technologischen Produkte haben wollen." Dennoch müsse man genau analysieren, in welchen Bereichen die Zukunft liegt. Produkte für Endverbraucher seien in Deutschland lange vernachlässigt worden - Smartphones und Co. kommen heute vorrangig aus China.Fest steht: Das Fundament für die Verkaufsschlager von morgen, liegt oft in der Forschung - und damit verbunden in den Patenten. Im Jahr 2024 lag Deutschland im internationalen Vergleich auf Platz zwei, direkt hinter den USA. Der Patentindex des Europäischen Patentamts meldet für 2024 gut 25.000 Patentanmeldungen aus Deutschland. Führend bleiben die USA mit knapp 48.000 Patentanmeldungen in Europa. Weltweit wurden knapp 199.300 Patente gezählt - etwa so viele wie im Vorjahr.Damit all diese Patente auch den Unternehmen zugutekommen, ist eine enge Vernetzung unabdingbar. "Wir sind mit nahezu allen Mittelständlern in Deutschland im Geschäft - nicht immer alle gleichzeitig, aber wir machen 10.000 Projekte pro Jahr", sagt Hanselka. Luft nach oben gibt es trotzdem. Und das gilt für Deutschland insgesamt. Wie die Zusammenarbeit mit Start-ups noch besser gelingen kann - und wie Deutschland digital unabhängiger werden könnte, darüber spricht Holger Hanselka in der neuen Folge von "So techt Deutschland".Sie haben Fragen für Frauke Holzmeier und Andreas Laukat?

https://www.dbllawyers.com/ 800.747.9354 In a fast-evolving technological era, artificial intelligence is transforming industries—and the legal field is no exception. On a recent episode of The Attorney Post, intellectual property attorney Thomas Dunlap of Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig joined the discussion to break down the legal complexities of AI, patent law, and the future of IP protection in a digital-first world. Thomas Dunlap leads a national law firm with nearly 80 attorneys and offices in Washington D.C., New York, Seattle, Chicago, and Delaware. His practice is rooted in intellectual property litigation, with a strong emphasis on patent portfolios held by inventors and universities. Dunlap represents patent holders in enforcement actions, often backed by litigation funders—a model that's becoming increasingly necessary as litigation costs continue to rise. Although Dunlap's background is in traditional IP law, he's become deeply involved in AI law due to the growing number of legal grey areas surrounding artificial intelligence. The lack of specific U.S. legislation governing AI, particularly in IP, is creating both opportunity and uncertainty for attorneys and innovators alike. A central issue Dunlap addresses is the legal identity of AI in the context of inventorship. As of now, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has clarified that while AI can assist in the invention process, only human beings can be listed as inventors. Consequently, AI-generated inventions are considered public domain unless a human makes the inventive leap. This has profound implications for businesses investing in AI-driven R&D. While countries like South Africa and Saudi Arabia have granted patents to AI systems, the U.S. remains firm in its human-inventor requirement—raising questions about international IP protection, ownership, and enforceability. The High Cost of Defending Innovation Beyond AI, Dunlap highlighted systemic flaws in the U.S. patent system. Small inventors, despite contributing to over 60% of innovation, are often outmatched by large tech companies. Patent litigation can easily cost $4–8 million, making it financially impossible for independent innovators to protect their ideas without support from litigation funders. Dunlap pointed to a high-profile case involving a small company's EKG monitoring technology being used in Apple Watches, underscoring how large corporations can leverage legal and financial muscle to challenge or invalidate legitimate patents. This is part of what he calls the “invalidated” era, where inventors face an uphill battle in enforcing their rights. AI's Disruptive Power in Legal Practice While AI poses legal dilemmas, it's also reshaping the way lawyers work. According to Dunlap, tools that previously required five associates over a week can now be accomplished by three associates in just five days, thanks to AI-enhanced e-discovery systems. But he warns that overreliance on AI for document review still carries risks—missed keywords or misinterpreted nuance can drastically affect outcomes. Moreover, Dunlap noted that courts may begin to limit AI training on copyrighted materials, potentially restricting the development of AI tools. If copyright constraints tighten, AI systems might only be able to train on pre-1950s content, greatly reducing their value and utility across industries. Thomas Dunlap's insights make it clear that the legal system is at a crossroads. The collision of AI and intellectual property is forcing courts, lawyers, and lawmakers to rethink longstanding definitions of creativity, authorship, and ownership. As AI continues to revolutionize industries, those at the forefront of IP law—like Dunlap—will be pivotal in shaping the future of innovation.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 466. https://youtu.be/JAwxQTrPDII Re .@NSKinsella has proposed a number of patent reforms if we decide as a society not to abolish the patent system.

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. I list these changes below in generally descending order of importance, without elaboration, as they are discussed further in “Reducing the Cost of IP Law”: Patent Law Reduce the Patent Term Remove Patent Injunctions/Provide Compulsory Royalties Add a Royalty Cap/Safe Harbor Reduce the Scope of Patentable Subject Matter Provide for Prior-Use and Independent-Inventor Defenses Instantly Publish All Patent Applications Eliminate Enhanced Damages Add a Working/Reduction to Practice Requirement1 Provide for Advisory Opinion Panels Losing Patentee Pays Expand Right to Seek Declaratory Judgments Exclude IP from Trade Negotiations [update: add a fair-use defense2 reinvogorate the reverse doctrine of equivalents defense ] Other Changes Increase the threshold for obtaining a patent Increase patent filing fees to make it more difficult to obtain a patent Make it easier to challenge a patent's validity at all stages Require patent applicants to specify exactly what part of their claimed invention is new and what part is “old” (e.g., by the use of European-style “characterized in that “claims) Require patent applicants to do a search and provide an analysis showing why their claimed invention is new and nonobvious (patent attorneys really hate this one) Limit the number of claims Limit the number of continuation applications Remove the presumption of validity that issued patents enjoy—e.g. a utility model or “petty patent” system, in which patent applications are examined only minimally and receive narrower protection; this type of IP right is already available in some countries) (( Reducing the Cost of IP Law; Tabarrok's Launching ...

Cybin Inc. CEO Doug Drysdale joined Steve Daring from Proactive to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. patent 12,318,477, bolstering the company's intellectual property portfolio around its CYB004 program. CYB004 is a deuterated DMT compound being developed for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. The patent, which offers protection until 2040, includes claims covering novel formulations of DMT and deuterated isotopologues for intramuscular (IM) injection. Drysdale explained that IM administration offers a more patient-friendly dosing option, with the potential to deliver rapid-acting, short-duration relief for anxiety disorders. Drysdale emphasized the significance of intellectual property protection in the biotech sector, noting that Cybin now holds more than 80 granted patents and approximately 220 pending applications. He said this growing portfolio supports the company's position as a leader in the psychedelic medicine space and helps safeguard its investment in drug development. In addition to the CYB004 program, Cybin is progressing into Phase 3 trials for its lead depression treatment candidate, which has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA. The first Phase 3 study is already underway, with a second expected to begin around mid-year. The company is also conducting a separate Phase 2 trial targeting anxiety, with results anticipated in the same timeframe. Drysdale concluded by noting that these milestones mark an important inflection point for the company as it moves closer to bringing new mental health treatments to market. #proactiveinvestors #cybininc #nyseamerican #ctbn #MentalHealth #PsychedelicTherapy #DepressionTreatment #BiotechNews #DougDrysdale #FDAapproval #ClinicalTrials #AnxietyTreatment #ProactiveInvestors

Light Science Technologies CEO Simon Deacon joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has secured a patent for its innovative environmental sensor technology, sensorGRO. This development strengthens the company's AgTech division by laying the foundation for future product expansion and new recurring revenue streams. The patent covers technology that monitors environmental conditions around both the leaves and roots of plants—crucial data that helps growers optimize yields in both indoor and large-scale outdoor farming. Clients already using the system include Dyson Farming Research, Bridge Farm Horticulture, and Jepco. Deacon noted that the patented technology also opens up opportunities in broader environmental monitoring, including water and air pollution and carbon emissions. The modular design allows customers to tailor the system to their specific needs by adding individual sensor units. In addition, the company has secured an initial order under a distribution agreement for a new LED lighting installation. The project includes over 400 custom lights for a 0.8-hectare glasshouse used to grow lettuce on a moving gutter system. The installation is scheduled to go live in early 2026. Light Science Technologies continues to expand globally through low-risk distribution partnerships, with a robust order pipeline now exceeding £44 million. Demand is driven by the need for technologies that reduce waste, improve yields, and extend growing seasons. #proactiveinvestors #lightsciencetechnologiesplc #aim #lst #sensorGRO #nurturGROW #AgTech #ControlledEnvironmentAgriculture #FoodSecurity #CropMonitoring #VerticalFarming #GlasshouseFarming #CarbonCredits #ClimateSmartAgriculture #ProactiveInvestors

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.

Im Jahr 1895 erwirbt Johann Weck das Patent zur luftdichten Lagerung von Lebensmitteln. Die werden praktisch unbegrenzt haltbar durch das nach ihm benannte Einwecken. Von Martina Meißner.

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.

Es gibt Erfindungen, die uns so selbstverständlich sind, dass wir kaum mehr ermessen können, welchen Gewinn an Lebensqualität sie bedeuteten, als sie tatsächlich neu waren. Das Faltboot ist so ein Fall. Einfach per pedes einen Ausflug zu machen und dann auf den Wasserweg zu wechseln, wurde erst möglich, als ein entsprechendes Patent 1907 bei Johann Klepper in Rosenheim in Serienproduktion ging. Zunächst eher in oberbayerischen Wildwassern gebräuchlich, war es bis 1925 auch in Norddeutschland populär geworden, weshalb ihm die Schiffbeker Zeitung vom 16. Mai eine kleine Ode sang. Für uns intoniert wird diese von Rosa Leu.

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.

In Episode #53, Lucien, on his last day in the U.S. before returning to Saudi Arabia on Friday and Dr. Hanaa, joining from Muscat, Oman, catch up with each other, with Dr. Hanaa giving her impressions from her inaugural trip to Oman and Lucien boasting about the weather in the U.S. right now. Then, the hosts get to a DEEPDIVE led by Lucien. The innovation landscape in Saudi Arabia just got a big boost on the back of news highlighting a significant increase in patent filings in Saudi Arabia, which has significant long-term economic implications and serves as a promising data point on the development and diversification of the Saudi economy.  After the DEEPDIVE, the hosts get to some of the latest news and storylines on Saudi Arabia, including the diplomatic implications of naming the 'Arabian Gulf', recent government reshuffles in Saudi Arabia, the ambitious Saudi Green Initiative aimed at environmental sustainability, and the launch of luxury hospitality projects by the Boutique Group.

Jeff Harty discusses the evolution of China's patent system with Stephen Yang. The conversation highlights the shift from foreign to Chinese patent filings, now at more than 3 million annually, with 1.6 million invention patent filings in 2023.In this episode, Jeff Harty and Stephen Yang discuss: Patent filing trends in ChinaTypes of patent protectionGovernment innovation policiesPatent enforcement mechanisms and strategyKey Takeaways: China's patent system has dramatically transformed, with Chinese applicants now dominating patent filings. In 2023, more than 1.6 million invention patent applications were filed, with 1.5 million from Chinese applicants.China offers a unique utility model patent system. It provides a faster, cheaper alternative to invention patents with a lower inventive step threshold. These patents can be granted in about six months and can provide strategic advantages for certain types of subject matter.The Chinese government has actively driven patent innovation through national IP strategies, government subsidies, and incentives. This led to some unintended consequences like “abnormal applications” that are now being addressed.Patent enforcement in China follows a dual-track system with administrative and judicial routes. Foreign patent holders can expect a relatively neutral judicial environment, with nearly 99 percent of prevailing patent holders receiving injunctive relief and increasingly higher damage awards.“Right now, the whole atmosphere in China is pro patentee, pro rights holder. Doesn't matter if it's domestic or foreign.” —Stephen YangAbout Stephen Yang: Stephen Yang is a patent attorney and managing partner of IP March. He began to practice IP law in 1997. Educated in both China and Canada, Stephen worked in private practice in China and as in-house counsel in Canada.

Welcome back to Tank Talks! In this episode, host Matt Cohen is joined by John Ruffolo for another high-voltage rundown of the most urgent headlines at the intersection of business, politics, and innovation. As Canada stares down the barrel of a snap federal election and the U.S. economy teeters on a razor's edge, this episode is all about decoding the chaos.* Can Canada avoid a recession as political gridlock looms?* Will U.S. economic volatility derail global investment?* What happens when tech titans like Musk and Dorsey call for the end of intellectual property law?From capital gains clashes and cross-border tax traps to TikTok-fueled counterfeits and China's IP free-for-all, this conversation goes deep into the geopolitical and economic fault lines shaping our future.Election Whiplash: Personality Over Policy (00:01:00)With Canada's snap election just days away, John and Matt unpack the shift from hard policy debate to emotional brand politics. Despite mounting economic concerns like productivity slumps, unaffordable housing, and rising interest rates, voters seem more fixated on the personalities of frontrunners Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre.John's take: We may be headed toward a minority government, but the real issue is voter apathy. If younger voters don't turn up, expect unpredictable outcomes. Meanwhile, the debates are muddying policy distinctions, making this more of a popularity contest than a strategic vote.Tax Turbulence: Capital Gains and Cross-Border Chaos (00:04:00)Capital gains are back in the spotlight on both sides of the border. In Canada, competing parties offer conflicting visions on taxation. But south of the border, new U.S. proposals could triple taxes on Canadian investors holding U.S. assets.John's take: Canada's assumption that U.S. Democrats would win and raise capital gains taxes might backfire. If Republicans take over and slash taxes instead, Canada's competitiveness could tank. The stakes? Talent flight, diminished foreign investment, and a harsh wake-up call for young Canadians evaluating life abroad.Trump, Tariffs, and the Trade War Ripple Effect (00:07:31)Trump's tariff spree continues to rattle markets. Mixed signals and shifting policies have left Canada and much of the world scrambling for economic footing.John's take: Canada has been over-indexing on Trump rather than addressing its domestic weaknesses. Blaming external forces won't fix structural problems like low productivity and weak innovation infrastructure.Recession Realities: Brace for Impact (00:11:50)With interest rates climbing and the bond market flashing red, John paints a sobering picture: a Canadian recession is not just likely, it's imminent. But not all is doom and gloom.John's take: Recessions are where great companies are made. The key is balance sheet strength and a strategy to gain market share, even at the cost of short-term profits. It's survival of the most prepared.Fear vs. Opportunity: Investing Amid Uncertainty (00:13:00)Despite market jitters, John's firm is busier than ever. He sees opportunity in volatility, just not for the faint of heart.John's take: Most people freeze in a downturn. That's a mistake. Investors and founders need to think like race car drivers, slow down strategically, but stay ready to accelerate when the track clears.The IP Debate Goes Nuclear: Musk & Dorsey Speak Out (00:17:00)In a viral exchange, Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk call for the abolishing of intellectual property laws. They argue IP stifles creativity and prioritizes lawsuits over innovation.John's take: While the system needs reform, scrapping IP entirely is extreme. Protection encourages R&D, especially for startups. The real threat? Patent trolls and uneven enforcement that favors deep-pocketed players.The Counterfeit Tsunami and China's Rule-of-Law Rebellion (00:20:50)From luxury bags to Tesla knockoffs, China's casual relationship with IP law is costing Western economies over $600 billion annually. And the stakes are rising.John's take: The U.S. once stood as a beacon for rule-based trade. Now, it's playing the same unpredictable game as China. Without global cooperation, the IP battlefield could become a free-for-all, and that's dangerous for everyone, especially startups.As elections, tariffs, and tech wars reshape the global economy, this episode is your essential guide to what's coming and how to prepare. Whether you're a founder, policymaker, or investor trying to read the tea leaves, John and Matt deliver the no-nonsense insight you won't find anywhere else.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I spoke with Ryan Schermerhorn, a US-based patent attorney who's been helping clean tech innovators navigate the IP maze - until recently with the help of a now-suspended fast-track programme.We discussed the United States Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) Climate Change Mitigation Pilot Program, which allowed inventors of emissions-reducing technologies to get patents approved in months rather than years, at no cost. Ryan explained how it worked, why it was a big deal for clean tech startups, and how it quietly disappeared earlier this year following a political shift.We also unpacked what this means for innovators now. Ryan shared practical alternatives - like using international patent offices with similar climate fast-track schemes and leveraging the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) to speed things up globally.We also covered the balance between IP protection and open innovation, why patents still matter in the climate crisis, and how to protect ideas early without blowing the budget.If you're working in climate tech, clean energy, or emissions monitoring and need to protect or scale your innovation, this episode is for you.Support the showPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing supporters: Lorcan Sheehan Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Support the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.
