  • TRADEMARK ESSENTIALS: Building Your Intellectual Property Assets

    TRADEMARK ESSENTIALS: Building Your Intellectual Property Assets
    Mar 22 2026
    Here's something most inventors didn't realize until it was too late: your invention could be manufactured, sold, or knocked off anywhere in the world - and your U.S. patent didn't protect you outside U.S. borders.

    That's where WIPO and the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) came in.
    Matthias Reischle-Park, Deputy Director and Head of PCT Legal and User Support at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), joined host Brian Fried, Founder of National Inventor Club, and broke down everything you needed to know about protecting your invention globally.

    Here's what was covered:
    ✅ PCT basics - What it was, how it worked, and why it mattered no matter where you were in your invention journey
    ✅ The real costs - What you actually needed to budget for global protection (no surprises) ✅ Strategic timing - When to file PCT vs when to go direct (the 30-month decision that could save or cost you thousands)
    ✅ Resources available - How to use WIPO tools and get help navigating the system ✅ Enforcement overseas - How you actually protect and enforce your IP if someone was ripping you off in another country
    ✅ Common mistakes - What Matthias saw inventors doing wrong and how to avoid those pitfalls ✅ Success stories - Real examples of inventors who used PCT to protect and monetize their inventions globally
    ✅ Future updates - Changes and improvements coming to international filing

    Matthias had been with WIPO since 1998, helping inventors and patent professionals navigate the PCT system. He had written the guidelines, trained thousands of applicants, and knew every move needed to protect an invention internationally without getting burned.

    This event was for you if:
    • You were just starting and wanted to understand your global IP options from day one
    • You were developing your invention and needed to know when international protection mattered
    • You had filed or had a U.S. patent and wondered what was next for international coverage
    • You were manufacturing overseas and needed to protect your IP there
    • Someone was already knocking off your product internationally and you wanted to know your options
    • You were confused about PCT costs, timing, and what WIPO could actually do for you
    Your invention deserved global protection. It was time to learn how to do it right.

    Join me and Raymond Van Dyke, Intellectual Property Attorney, as we walk you through every part of a patent in plain English — piece by piece.

    What You'll Learn:

    • How to decode your claims — the most critical part of your patent • What all those reference numbers actually mean in your drawings
    • The real purpose of your patent summary and specification
    • How to spot the strong parts and weak spots in your patent
    • What examiners are looking for when they review your application

    Whether you're about to file or you already have a patent, this session gives you the power to understand your intellectual property like a pro.

    TRADEMARK ESSENTIALS: Building Your Intellectual Property Assets
    Feb 21 2026
    You’ve got a brilliant invention, innovative service, or startup idea—but have you thought about protecting your brand name, logo, product design, or slogan? That’s where trademarks come in—and most people don’t realize how powerful they are until it’s too late. In this episode, host Brian Fried sits down with Jason Lott, Managing Attorney for Trademarks at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), to break down everything you need to know about trademarks—no legal jargon, just clear, actionable guidance. Topics covered include:
    ✅ What trademarks actually protect—names, logos, slogans, colors, sounds, product shapes, and more
    ✅ The best timing to file for trademark protection
    ✅ A simplified, step-by-step registration process from someone who’s reviewed thousands of applications
    ✅ How trademarks build real business value and create assets you can leverage
    ✅ Trademarks vs. Copyrights vs. Patents—clearing up the confusion once and for all


    With over 24 years of experience at the USPTO, Jason helps inventors, entrepreneurs, and startups understand how to protect what they’re building, turning complex legal topics into strategies you can actually use. This episode is perfect if you:
    • Are naming a business, product, or service and want to do it right
    • Are building something unique that needs protection
    • Have launched but haven’t secured your trademark yet
    • Want clarity on what trademarks cover and how they work
    • Want to build valuable intellectual property assets that increase your company’s worth
    Your intellectual property is an asset. Learn how to protect it and make it work for you.
