IA #68 The IP Value Pendulum Has Swung Back. Here’s What It Means for You.

About this episode

The value of patents is rising again, fast. In this episode of Invent Anything, John Cronin breaks down why the IP value pendulum has swung back toward stronger patents, and what this dramatic shift means for CEOs, inventors, investors, product leaders, marketers, and legal teams. Over the past decade, Inter Partes Review (IPR) weakened patents and made litigation unpredictable. But recent policy changes at the U.S. Patent Office have reversed course, restoring patent strength, enhancing enforceability, and shaking up IP strategy across industries. Whether you're building an IP portfolio, navigating product roadmaps, defending against copycats, or trying to understand how AI will transform litigation, this episode gives you the full landscape.
