    Patents, Trademarks & AI: How to Protect Your Ideas and Build a Profitable Business

    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 secretsWhen you actually need a patent and when you do notWhy disclosure can destroy your ability to protect your ideaThe biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when developing productsHow trademarks protect your brand across the United StatesWhy many invention companies cost you more than they helpThe real risks of using AI with confidential business ideasHow intellectual property laws apply in a global marketWhy execution matters more than the idea itselfHow to build the right legal and business support team Key Insight: You do not need a patent to make money.

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 the co-founder and COO of TD Pine Advisors, Brandon specializes in helping founder-led businesses navigate the often murky waters of operational upgrades and team alignment.

This shift not only frees up the owner to focus on strategic growth but also fosters a culture of trust and collaboration within the team. Listeners will leave with actionable insights on how to prepare their businesses for transition, whether it's scaling for growth, preparing for an exit, or simply enhancing operational efficiency. Brandon’s experience and practical advice will inspire entrepreneurs to rethink their approach to business management and succession planning, making it clear that the journey to unstoppable success requires not just hard work, but a solid strategy and a supportive team.
