About this listen
Dr. Jean, The Results Queen® interviews special guest Ed Weisz, Shareholder and IP Attorney at Cozen O'Connor, shares his journey from electrical engineer to patent lawyer. Ed explains the IP spectrum—patents (20-year monopolies requiring science backgrounds), trademarks (brand protection lasting forever), and copyrights. He discusses memorable patents like an MTA bus driver's hand pillow and a snow plow contractor's boundary markers, emphasizing how necessity drives invention.
Key Action Steps: Don't wait to file patents—you have only 12 months from public disclosure thanks to Ben Franklin's one-year rule. Conduct prior art searches and consult attorneys early. For product sellers, research existing patents and consider design modifications to avoid infringement. Ed's final advice: "Protect your intellectual property because if you don't, someone is going to trespass."
