Patenting for Inventors

In this episode, I dive into Zootopia 2 and the absolutely unhinged fact that the entire plot revolves around a forged patent. Yes, a Disney movie about talking animals turns into a full-blown IP scandal involving a snake inventor, a corrupt businessman who steals her journal, rips out her real patent, forges his own, murders the witness (in a children's film!), frames the inventor, and builds a dynasty on the world's least plausible legal cover-up. I breaks down what the movie hilariously misunderstands about patents, why none of this could ever happen with a real patent, and why it still makes for the greatest animated patent thriller ever made!

What happens when the USPTO lets artificial intelligence join the patent process? In this episode, I breaks down the brand-new Automated Search Pilot Program, a six-month experiment where AI runs a pre-exam prior art search before a human examiner even touches your application. I explains what it is, how to join, who it helps (and who it doesn't), and why it might just change the way patents get examined, all with some healthy skepticism about letting robots near our inventions.

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!

Lululemon wants Costco to stop selling its copycat couture. In this episode, I cover the juicy new lawsuit between the premium yoga brand and the king of bulk, breaking down Lululemon's patent, trademark, trade dress, and unfair practices claims against Costco for selling lookalike fashion. What's actually protectable in fashion and why is winning a fashion lawsuit so hard? Grab your kombucha—this one's worth a listen!

Can you really license your invention before your patent is granted? In this episode of The Patenting for Inventors Podcast, I break down the risks, rewards, and real-world strategies behind licensing a patent-pending invention. Whether you're an inventor looking to monetize early, or a company weighing the value of exclusive rights before the ink is dry, this episode will help you navigate the pre-patent licensing landscape—with practical insights, sample contract clauses, and a few hoverboard references along the way.
