Ideas don’t turn into impact on excitement alone. They need structure, ownership, and trust. We sit down with Mark, an IP advisor and blockchain compliance expert, to unpack how intangible assets—patents, trademarks, copyrights, code, data, and even carbon credits—quietly drive growth while shaping risk across industries. We dig into the hidden engine of value that most founders overlook: dormant IP. Mark walks us through practical IP audits that surface what you already own, from unique pro...

With Igor Data, CEO and co-founder of Blin Analytics, we dig into the real mechanics of crypto crime and why the difference between loss and recovery often comes down to minutes, not months. Igor pulls back the curtain on demixing methods, behavior pattern analysis, and how AI and automation sift millions of transactions before a human makes the call. The theft may be digital, but the tells are human: tempo, timing, liquidity choices, and the inevitable mistake that cracks a years-long launde...
Imagine opening your phone, describing your dispute in simple language, and getting a clear, data-backed path to resolution—without weeks of confusion or a wall of legalese. That’s the future we dig into with lawyer and legal tech builder Nicolas Torrent, who’s helped design online arbitration platforms and shape Switzerland’s legal tech ecosystem. Together we unpack how AI, user experience, and court data can turn access to justice from a maze into a map. We start with the hard truths: pric...
What if law moved at light speed—not to block discovery, but to channel it? We sit down with the big idea that runs through today’s most ambitious missions: when ownership is clear and sharing is structured, innovation scales across nations, agencies, and even planets. We start in orbit with the ISS, where inventorship follows astronauts and equipment, and use rights are negotiated before launch, so science never stalls at zero gravity. Then we shift to ITER, the global fusion project that s...
Swipe once and everything changes: not just your screen, but the law that decides who owns the look and feel of our digital world. We dig into how design law—built for chairs, lamps, and sneakers—now grapples with GUIs, animations, and metaverse wearables, and why that shift is reshaping how creators protect their work. From the basics of industrial design rights to the thorny ordinary observer test, we explain how novelty, individual character, and visibility play out when beauty lives in mo...
The race between pirates and rights holders has entered a new era where algorithms call the shots. Across six countries on three continents, courts are embracing AI as the referee of intellectual property rights in sports broadcasting, delivering a game-changing shift in enforcement speed and effectiveness. From hockey arenas in Toronto to cricket grounds in Mumbai, sophisticated AI systems now fingerprint legitimate broadcasts, instantly detect unauthorized streams, and trigger court-ordere...
Every masterpiece you've ever consumed likely passed through a licensing agreement first. That catchy song in your favorite commercial? Licensed. The superhero logo on your coffee mug? Licensed. The technology powering your smartphone? Licensed hundreds of times over. Licensing represents the hidden architecture behind innovation empires, allowing creators to extend their reach without surrendering control. Unlike selling your intellectual property outright, licensing lets you maintain owne...
Welcome to a fascinating exploration of the hidden legal battles shaping tomorrow's technology. Predictive algorithms have become the crystal balls of modern business, forecasting everything from home prices to healthcare costs, but they're also becoming the center of high-stakes courtroom dramas worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Across the globe, from Texas courtrooms to China's Supreme People's Court, judges and juries are answering a profound question: who owns the right to predict ...
Choreography copyright exists in a fascinating legal gray area where cultural ownership and legal protection often clash. When Alfonso Ribeiro attempted to claim rights to his iconic "Carlton Dance" from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air after Fortnite used it as a purchasable emote, his case was dismissed because the Copyright Office deemed the routine "too simple" - just three basic dance steps without sufficient originality. This ruling sparked crucial conversations about what makes dance protectabl...
Get the book! The greatest innovations often begin with a simple question: "What if we tried this differently?" In this fascinating exploration of innovation mindsets, we unpack the two complementary approaches that fuel breakthroughs—design thinking and first principles thinking. hese very approaches are at the heart of my book Protection for the Inventive Mind, a practical fieldbook that helps inventors and creatives turn frustrations into prototypes and big ideas into protected strategies....
Get the book! Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming central to areas such as public health, education, agriculture, and climate resilience. In this context, the role of the State is coming into sharper focus, particularly in how governments can shape innovation to serve broad social goals. Intellectual property frameworks, often seen as tools for exclusivity, are being repurposed to support inclusive access and public benefit. This special episode of Intangiblia was recorded as part of ...
Get the book! What happens when artificial intelligence challenges humans for the invention crown? We dive into this provocative question by examining real-world examples where AI has revolutionized fields from drug discovery to furniture design. The evidence is compelling. AI systems have accelerated medical research, discovered antibiotics against resistant bacteria, identified new molecular patterns, and generated creative designs faster than humans could imagine. Yet every breakthrough r...

Your face unlocks your phone, animates your emoji, and verifies your identity but who actually owns the digital rights to your unique features? In this deep dive into biometric data law, we explore the high-stakes legal battles reshaping how technology interacts with our most personal physical characteristics. When Facebook paid $650 million to settle a class action lawsuit over facial recognition, it signaled a seismic shift in how companies must approach biometric data collection. We break...
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 forc...
The line between groundbreaking innovation and controversial ownership blurs when scientists begin creating life in laboratories. What happens when your invention isn't just a device or chemical formula, but a living, breathing, self-replicating organism that refuses to stay contained within traditional legal boundaries? Synthetic biology—the field where engineering meets genetics—has created a perfect storm for intellectual property law. Scientists can now design cells like software, progra...
