Blockchain is a public, digital, ledger. It’s a distributed record everyone can see, but nobody can edit. Instant IP™ time stamps your idea, creating an immutable digital asset that proves your ownership and establishes a first to use / first to file event. Katie Rubino and Kary Oberbrunner talk about the newest trends in IP protection and how traditional IP protection still makes sense in many use cases.

In this episode of You Are an IP Company, Kary Oberbrunner and Katherine Rubino break down what they call “The IP Dam Dilemma.” As innovation accelerates in fields like biotech, AI, and 3D printing, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office struggles to keep up—with application backlogs slowing critical progress for startups, researchers, and investors. From drug development to product launches, they explore how delays in IP protection can stall innovation, discourage investment, and leave entrepreneurs vulnerable. This is a must-listen for any creator wondering if—and when—it’s safe to go public with their big idea.…

AI isn’t the enemy—but if we’re going to coexist, it must respect human intellectual property. The other day, someone told me to check out a new tool. I was nervous to see what I might find. Did Facebook steal my books to train its AI without my permission? I read the article in The Atlantic and entered my name. Sure enough—5 of my 14 books were taken. Used without my consent. I’m not alone. Try searching your favorite author. What will you find? (I'm not sure, but there's clearly a serious problem.) When intellectual property isn’t respected, people stop creating. That was the core idea behind the Venetian Patent Statute of 1474. Even 600 years ago—long before AI—people understood that ideas needed protection. Imagine a world where anyone could take your physical property at any time, for any reason. That would disrupt everything. So, what’s the solution? We need a new generation of IP advisors to help creators, authors, entrepreneurs, and businesses navigate this new landscape. That’s why we’re launching Instant IP Advisor. Yes, there’s a cost—but these advisors will be well-compensated. I’ll personally train the founding group this May, and we’ll begin serving the world soon after. If you’re interested, visit the website and apply. We’re opening the founder’s group to just 25 people. It’s time to help people turn ideas into empires.…

It's the perfect storm. According to Gene Quinn and IPWatchdog Unleashed, at least 800,000 patents are now backlogged. The number is more accurately estimated at 1.2 million. Why? "As the result of increased fees put into effect by the previous Administration, there was a rush to file continuations earlier this year before the fees increased.... and more than 300,000 continuations were filed before the fee increases went into effect....And with job offers for up to 600 patent examiners withdrawn, and a fear that a similar number of probationary examiners, perhaps even more, will soon be terminated, no one knows for sure what the Office will do to address this historic backlog." This truth coupled with the tech explosion and AI stealing IP, we're in a desperate need for an IP solution that's faster, easier, and cheaper....just to keep up. If not, innovation in the United States will suffer. Progress will slow. Investors will delay. And entrepreneurship will stall. Enter Instant IP: The 1-Click Solution for Intellectual Property Protection. Come learn with us as we unravel the backlog.…
