The Business of Patents: One Attorney's Path to Entrepreneurship - With Austin Bonderer - Episode 39
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Today, I’m joined by Austin Bonderer, a seasoned patent attorney whose career has spanned both sides of the patent world — from serving as a U.S. Patent Examiner to founding his own law practice.
With more than 690 issued U.S. patents to his name,
Austin has helped inventors and companies protect their ideas across industries, including leading nanotechnology patent prosecution for a Fortune Global 100 company.
We’ll start by exploring Austin’s entrepreneurial journey — what motivated him to leave government service, how he built his own firm from the ground up, and what lessons he’s learned about running a specialized practice in the complex world of intellectual property.
Then, we’ll dive into the patent process itself. I’ll be asking Austin the questions we all want answered about obtaining patents — how the process really works, how to know if your idea is patent-worthy, and the biggest mistakes people make when trying to protect their innovations.
If you’ve ever dreamed of building something of your own — or if you’ve ever wondered how to protect the ideas that fuel innovation — this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
