Send us Fan Mail
Patents. Trademarks. AI. Business ideas.
Most entrepreneurs focus on building and launching. Few stop to ask one critical question.
How do I actually protect what I am building?
In this episode of Unstoppable Success, Jaclyn Strominger sits down with patent attorney Austin Bonderer, who brings over 20 years of experience and more than 700 issued U.S. patents to the table.
This conversation breaks down what every entrepreneur, founder, and business owner needs to understand about intellectual property before investing time, money, and energy into an idea.
Because here is the truth.
A great idea alone does not create success. Protection, execution, and strategy do.
💥 In this episode, you will learn:
The difference between patents, trademarks, and trade secrets
When you actually need a patent and when you do not
Why disclosure can destroy your ability to protect your idea
The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when developing products
How trademarks protect your brand across the United States
Why many invention companies cost you more than they help
The real risks of using AI with confidential business ideas
How intellectual property laws apply in a global market
Why execution matters more than the idea itself
How to build the right legal and business support team
Key Insight:
You do not need a patent to make money.
But if you want to protect long-term value, you need strategy from the start.
This episode also dives into one of the most important emerging conversations in business today.
What happens when you put your ideas into AI?
As Austin explains, sharing ideas in AI platforms may expose your intellectual property in ways most people do not yet fully understand. That creates real risk for entrepreneurs who are moving fast without thinking about protection.
