The AI revolution is here, and it's a gold rush.  But are you protecting your valuable AI innovations?  This week on The Richer Geek Podcast, we talk with Robert Plotkin, a leading AI patent attorney with over 25 years of experience. Robert helps cutting-edge AI companies worldwide secure patents that not only protect their intellectual property but also drive profit. In this episode, we're discussing... Patents are more than just legal weapons; they are valuable business assets that can be licensed, sold, and used to attract investment. Patents provide a crucial deterrent against competitors, even if you never intend to initiate a lawsuit. They also significantly increase your company's valuation for potential acquisition. AI-assisted creations, including prompts and inventions developed using AI, can be patentable, but the specifics are crucial. Strategic IP is paramount for AI company success, impacting fundraising, profitability, talent acquisition, and exit strategies. While copyright and trade secrets offer some protection, patents provide unique and powerful safeguards for AI innovations. Patent litigation, though often expensive, is increasingly accessible to startups through innovative financing options. Early consultation with a patent attorney is vital to avoid inadvertently forfeiting patent rights through premature public disclosures.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Robert Plotkin discuss:Giving information away. Writing a lead-generating book while maintaining your law practice.Benefits of writing a book above other kinds of content marketing. What to do before publication, during promotion, and after publication.  Key Takeaways:Even if you gave someone your entire process, nobody will be able to execute like you do because you have value to bring to the situation. Break your book down into small, manageable bites. Also, consider sharing some of the information as you go and get feedback as you go so it feels less monumental of a task. Having a good outline in place is crucial - it gives you opportunities to break your script into smaller tasks that can be tackled in your 15 or 20 free minutes. Have multiple ways of distributing your content - audio, digital, and print. People consume content in different ways, but you can also repackage that content in your content marketing.  "The thing about a book is it sends this separate meta message about your clout, your credibility as an expert. I think most lawyers who are writing a book are trying to use it to establish or cement themselves as an expert, a thought leader, someone who knows how to get certain things done for their clients in the law and a book sends that meta message at just order of magnitude higher level. There's another meta message: by someone seeing that you wrote a book, they know you're someone who took the time and has the discipline to write a book. Even if they never read it, that sends a message to them." —  Robert PlotkinFind out more about the 10 Easy-to-Execute Hacks to Unlock Your Full Potential at: https://fretzin.com/events Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/bethatlawyer/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Green Cardigan Marketing: https://greencardiganmarketing.com/ Episode References: The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz About Robert Plotkin: Robert Plotkin is a patent attorney who has specialized in obtaining software patents for his clients to maximize company value for over 25 years.

https://thinkfuture.com | https://aiadialy.us | In this insightful podcast episode, host Chris interviews Robert Plotkin, a patent attorney specializing in helping tech startups secure intellectual property protection. Robert emphasizes the critical role of patents and IP for startups, sharing examples where failing to secure IP rights led to larger companies copying innovative ideas. He also outlines the advantages of early IP protection in attracting investors and potential acquirers, noting that having filed applications or obtained grants can make a startup more appealing. The conversation then shifts to the future of AI and its potential ubiquitous integration across various sectors. Robert suggests that in the next decade, AI will become a common tool rather than a novelty, with early adopters gaining a competitive edge. He predicts consumer tools could even handle tasks like medical diagnoses. The podcast also explores the evolving landscape of legal work and professional services in the AI era. With clients increasingly turning to AI tools for basic needs, experts in the field must focus on offering deep expertise, experience, and strategic wisdom that surpasses what AI can provide.

Robert Plotkin, Co-Founder of Blueshift IP, Leading Expert on The Impact of AI on Innovation Blueshiftip.com Robert Plotkin is a leading expert on the impact of AI on innovation. His book, The Genie in the Machine, was the first (and still the only) work to address the impact of creative AI on innovation and the patent system. As an MIT-educated computer scientist, inventor, and patent attorney specializing in software patents for over 25 years, he has unique insights into how to leverage AI in innovation and how to navigate the patent system in the wake of increasingly creative AI. Robert is also an experienced podcaster with nearly 100 episodes and is a highly sought after podcast guest for his breadth of expertise.

We've had interesting recent discussions about AI and the law with great guests like Robert Plotkin. And we've had many interesting conversations about AI with CIO legends like Mark Settle from Okta and Carter Busse from Workato to name a few. In over 200 episodes we haven't yet discussed how to deliver IT service to the legal industry.Jim McKenna has been delivering technology to attorneys and coaching others who do the same for more than two decades. In his current role at perennial Silicon Valley top law firm Fenwick & West, Jim supports an organization of more than 1,000 employees as CIO. He oversees teams that manage IT and security and is first and foremost a thought leader for the business. Prior to Fenwick, Jim held similar roles at Morrison and Forester. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of the International Legal Technology Association.Thanks to Xavier, unsung hero and Fenwick IT specialist, for helping with A/V issues.Listen and learn...What's unique about delivering IT and security service to lawyersHow the legal industry shifted to work from home during the pandemicWhat's ahead for LegalTechWhere there are opportunities for AI to predict future employee needsHow Jim keeps up with security and compliance requirements... while innovatingJim's leadership advice: "Prepare in advance so when the tough occurs you're not afraid!"References in this episode...Robert Plotkin on AI and the Future of WorkMark Settle on AI and the Future of WorkCarter Busse on AI and the Future of WorkHow generative AI is being used to analyze patterns in DNA sequences

No field is being upended as much as the legal profession. We're all confused about how content generated by AI will be protected under the law and many lawyers are also asking how relevant they'll be in a world where large language models can pass the bar and do legal research.Robert Plotkin is a luminary in the software patent space having been in the field for 25 years and having been involved in important IP cases related to everything from AI to quantum computing to autonomous vehicles and speech recognition.Robert also published the book Genie in the Machine back in 2009 which amazingly foreshadowed the legal implications of AI on IP.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Robert Plotkin discuss:How AI can assist a law firm and the benefits of automating those things that can be automated. Best practices for selecting automation and law firm technologies.Common misconceptions about law firm automation. Creating a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.  Key Takeaways:No matter how much we automate, there will always be something for humans to do. Not everything can be automated, but those things that can be, can help your law firm run more efficiently. When you use automation to generate content, you must apply the same level of care and review that you would when reviewing content generated by humans.If you haven't used much automation, start with the tool that gives you the most return for the least amount of setup effort. You can automate many things on the business side that don't have anything to do with the document generation or client tasks. This will still save you time and money.  "I still think it's true that performing legal analysis, in many ways, cannot be automated. If you were to observe, during the course of your day, what all the tasks are you perform as a lawyer and you break them down into smaller units, many of them don't really require the skill of a lawyer.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin, Robert Plotkin, and Cynthia Gilbert discuss:Relationships at the root of all business and networks. Business development as a learned skill, regardless of personality. Commitment and the art of the follow through. From generalization to specialization.  Key Takeaways:Different environments are better for different people. Know yourself and speak to people who are doing what you are thinking of doing. Be cautious about being too transactional in any networking situation. Connections allow you to offer your clients fuller service than you would be able to do otherwise with only your firm. People are more likely to remember a specialist than they are to remember a generalist.  "Although we are small and highly specialized, what we want to do is to be able to provide the client with the effective equivalent of a fuller service firm by being able to connect them with the other services that they need." —  Robert Plotkin Connect with Robert Plotkin & Cynthia Gilbert:  Website: https://blueshiftip.com/Show: https://blueshiftip.com/podcasts/Blueshift IP LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/blueshift-ip-llc/Robert's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertplotkin/Cynthia's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cynthiagilbert/Twitter: https://twitter.com/blueshiftipFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BlueshiftIP/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: The Ambitious Attorney: Your Guide to Doubling or Even Tripling Your Book of Business and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911  Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

“An idle mind is the devil’s playground.” This is not the case in business. When working on a business or building a brand, it’s easy to fall into a state of constant distractions, busyness, and endless sources calling for your attention. While having so many things demand for your time is generally a good sign that your business is going well, it can also lead to burnout, lack of productivity, and can kill creativity. In this episode, I talk with Robert Plotkin, the founder of Technology for Mindfulness. He lives and breathes the high-tech world, but always leaves space for his mindfulness practices. In our discussion, Robert challenges the value of being busy and instead places that value in idleness. He shares insights into how to use mindfulness practices with technology, create personal systems to reestablish timely expectations, and ultimately provide space for creativity and productivity. So get ready to learn practical tips on how to create a mindful workspace and increase your productivity. Some Questions I Ask: How did you get to where you are today?

“When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves.”– Jack Kornfield I spend a lot of my time around technology.  I've never considered myself a techno-guy but I am a consistent user.  As a user, technology can also be a distraction.  This week, we learn about leveraging it! My guest on this episode is Robert Plotkin.  Robert has not only a tech background but also a martial arts background, which make him uniquely qualified to put the two concepts together to show how we can use technology to actually increase our mindfulness practices. I had so much fun talking with Robert and learned a whole lot in the process.  Take some time to listen to this episode so you can learn to integrate technology into your mindfulness practices rather than having it distract you.
