    Cécile Deniard: The Human Voice Inside Every Translation

    Most readers never notice the translator’s name, yet translation is the difference between a book that merely “sounds correct” and a book that actually lives in a new language. We sit down with Cécile Deniard, a literary translator of around 60 books and a longtime leader in European translator advocacy, to show what the job really demands: deep reading, seven or more revision passes, research that can span prison systems to 19th-century Canada, and constant collaboration with authors, editors, and outside experts. From there, we get concrete about rights and working conditions. Cécile explains why literary translators are legally authors under the Berne Convention, what moral rights mean in practice, and why fair pay is still the profession’s most urgent challenge. We talk about contracts that delay payment, missing advances, lack of royalties. Then we face the biggest pressure point in publishing right now: AI translation and machine translation tools like DeepL and ChatGPT. Cécile breaks down why post-editing often backfires, how “anchoring” locks you into bad machine choices, and why AI cannot be treated as a co-creator when only humans can carry responsibility for the final text. We also unpack the larger copyright fight around: Authorization, Remuneration, and Transparency. If you care about books, language, copyright, and the future of creative work, subscribe, share this conversation with your network, and leave a review so more listeners can find Intangibilia.

    Felene Cayetano: Libraries, Authors, And The Caribbean

    What if the most reliable path for a Caribbean author isn’t a viral post or a distant platform, but a seat at the library table and a place in the classroom? We sit down with Feline Keetano—author, librarian, and filmmaker—to map the practical steps that move a book from a local print run into the hands of real readers. From legal deposit to cataloging, from national systems that buy for multiple branches to library-hosted readings that convert attention into sales, Feline shares a grounded playbook for turning craft into income. We dig into the realities of distribution across the Caribbean: why many self-published books sell better locally than to the diaspora, how offline relationships still beat algorithms, and why scouting brick-and-mortar bookstores remains essential. Feline explains how schools and curricula create predictable demand, and how authors can strengthen their proposals with discussion questions, teaching guides, and alignment to standards. Along the way, we unpack regional collaboration—Carefesta connections, rights organizations like CAROSA, and WhatsApp groups that keep authors, librarians, and small publishers in sync despite fragmented infrastructure. Feline also opens up about sustaining a creative life across mediums. Her films preserve Garifuna language and memory, while her writing safeguards family stories and local history. We explore how readings, residencies, and community programs can diversify income, build audience trust, and inspire young writers to see authorship as a viable career. If you’re an independent author, librarian, or small publisher looking for real tactics—from bulk purchases and events to curricula and regional rights—this conversation offers a clear, repeatable path forward. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a writer who needs a boost, and leave a quick review to help more Caribbean stories find their readers.

    Mikaela Taivassalo: Keeping Minority Languages Alive In A Digital Book World

    What happens when a writer who cracked the code at four grows up to lead a nation’s authors in a rapidly changing book economy? We sit down with Mikaela, president of the Society of Swedish Authors in Finland, to explore how love of language becomes both a creative engine and a shield for cultural diversity. From her early sense of writing as a private room for thinking to the public work of advocacy, she opens up about balancing solitude with leadership and why literature functions as democratic infrastructure, not a luxury. We travel through the pressures squeezing small-language communities: declining deep reading, a tilt toward entertainment-first publishing, and the quiet erosion of literary biodiversity. Mikaela lays out a sharper toolkit for authors—time-limited contracts, firm retention of rights, and royalty transparency that turns opaque audiobook streaming into accountable income. She explains how “seconds listened” distorts value and why publishers must partner with writers to demand clear reporting from platforms. The conversation tackles AI head-on. Who decides if a text becomes training data, and who gets paid when machines learn from human craft? Mikaela’s north star is straightforward: transparency, consent, and fair remuneration across borders, with practical licensing paths that scale from Finland to Europe and beyond. We round out with the fuel that keeps risk-taking alive—grants, mentorship, translation, and cross-border alliances that link Finland-Swedish literature to Nordic and European readers—plus one structural move that could lift the whole ecosystem: zero VAT on books, from print to audio. If you care about author rights, minority languages, and the future of reading, this conversation offers clarity and next steps. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves books, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show. What change would you make first: fairer contracts, AI licensing, or zero book VAT?

    Season 8

    We’re joined by Serena Barone from the International Artists Forum, an international organization built to connect author groups worldwide and strengthen the push for authors’ rights across borders. If you care about copyright, intellectual property, creator advocacy, and how culture gets protected, this season is for you. We dig into why the International Artists Forum was founded in the first place. Serena explains how the Forum grew from a small start into a network of nearly 100 member organizations around the world, and why that kind of collective power matters when policy and markets move globally.  We also get concrete about what the Forum actually does: supporting member organizations, helping them advocate with governments and international bodies, and acting as an exchange platform for the issues creators face right now. AI comes up as a major pressure point, raising urgent questions about how creative work is used and valued. We close with why this collaboration matters to us, and why spotlighting many different voices across the season can help listeners understand the real-world impact of IP decisions on writers, translators, visual artists, and academic authors.  Subscribe for the full season, share this with a creator or IP colleague, and leave a review that tells us which authors’ rights topic you want us to tackle next.

    Playing Around INTA 2026: A Scenario Game for IP Lawyers

    We’re in London at the INTA 2026 Annual Meeting, but we’re not doing a standard conference recap. We wanted to show how intellectual property work can be creative, inventive, and even fun, so we built THE INVENTIVE MINDSET GAME, a scenario game, and handed real IP lawyers a stack of tricky client prompts. Each prompt forces a choice: do you follow the client’s exact instructions, take an inventive counseling path, bring in an AI assist tool, or throw a curveball and plan for the worst-case scenario. From a smart home invention to a viral character and an influencer launching a skincare line, we dig into the practical decisions behind patent strategy, trademark protection, and copyright, including how to think about prior art, claim scope, brand control, and what “commercialization” actually demands. We also talk about the unglamorous but critical details that can make or break an IP strategy: picking the right trademark classes, avoiding coverage that doesn’t match the business, and sequencing filings when budgets are tight. If you’re a founder, creator, in-house counsel, or just curious about how IP law works in the real world, you’ll leave with clearer mental models and sharper questions to ask before you file anything. Subscribe for more stories and practical IP insights, share this with a friend building a brand, and leave a review if the game format helped you think differently about IP.

    Sports As IP Strategy

    Somewhere right now, a kid is kicking a ball in the street while a stadium across the world is holding its breath for a final-second win. We love sports because they create instant shared meaning, but the part most fans never see is the structure that makes those moments travel, repeat, and endure. For World IP Day 2026, we’re celebrating “IP and sports” with a playful challenge that lands on a serious point: intellectual property is what helps sport scale. We break down the real sports business engine behind broadcasting rights, sponsorships, merchandising, and the rising value of sports data. Then we put the ideas to the test with “Who Wants To Own The Stadium,” a quick game that connects familiar examples to the core IP tools: patents, trademarks, copyright, licensing, and industrial design. Nike Flyknit shows how a patented invention can become a platform across product lines. The Nike swoosh shows how a trademark becomes trust, culture, and belonging. Madden NFL shows how copyright and licensing can turn a league into interactive entertainment. Air Jordan 1 shows how product design can become a collectible icon and a long-term asset. By the end, we tie everything together into a practical takeaway for founders, creators, lawyers, and curious fans: sports value is built on more than performance, and good IP strategy helps innovation travel, brands grow, and creators get rewarded.

    The Afterlife of Innovation: Can IP Outlive the Business That Created It?

    A company can vanish from your pocket and still show up in court and that is not a metaphor. We take a hard look at the afterlife of innovation and the real business question behind it: can intellectual property outlive the company that created it, and if so, what legal structures make that possible? We trace six vivid case studies that turn “failed products” into ongoing value. BlackBerry shows how patent monetization and portfolio restructuring can create immediate liquidity while keeping a long royalty tail and upside participation. Nokia shows what happens when IP moves from consumer devices into network infrastructure, where standards essential patents and FRAND commitments can produce durable, recurring IP licensing revenue. Ericsson takes the same idea and makes it operational, using deals that shift ownership to specialist entities while retaining tiered revenue shares, aligning incentives and keeping the program disciplined. Then the tone gets sharper: Nortel reveals how bankruptcy restructuring can turn patents into the centerpiece of an estate, driving auctions and creditor recovery. Kodak demonstrates how timing, litigation risk, title clarity, and negotiation pressure can reshape patent portfolio valuation, even when the underlying innovation is strong. Technicolor closes the loop with a deal engineered like a financial instrument: cash up front, future revenue participation, and a license back to keep operating. If your business changed tomorrow, would your intellectual property still be creating value?

    Case Study: Lindt’s Gold Bunny Trademark Saga

    A chocolate bunny wrapped in gold foil should not be a legal thriller and yet it is. We follow the Lindt Easter Bunny across Europe’s courtrooms as judges wrestle with a high-stakes branding question: when does a familiar seasonal design stop being decoration and start functioning as a trademark that signals source, trust, and reputation? We break down how trademark law can protect more than names and logos, including product shape, color, and packaging, but only when distinctiveness is proven in the minds of consumers. That is where Lindt’s saga gets fascinating: EU courts resist broad claims over a crouching bunny with a ribbon and bell, while later decisions reward tighter theories backed by real-world evidence. We also dig into the “bad faith” dimension of European trademark disputes and why intent and market context matter when brands enforce their rights. Then the strategy sharpens. Germany becomes a case study in precision, where Lindt shifts from trying to protect the whole look to proving that a specific gold tone has acquired distinctiveness through use, supported by survey data showing strong consumer association. Switzerland adds another twist, granting Lindt a major injunction and underscoring how much jurisdiction, framing, and proof can change outcomes in international IP enforcement. If you care about branding, trade dress, consumer perception, and trademark strategy, this story delivers practical lessons with a surprisingly elegant punchline. Subscribe for more plain-talk IP stories, share this with someone who obsesses over packaging, and leave a review with your take: should a brand be able to own a color or shape when consumers strongly associate it with one company?
