That's where WIPO and the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) came in.
Matthias Reischle-Park, Deputy Director and Head of PCT Legal and User Support at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), joined host Brian Fried, Founder of National Inventor Club, and broke down everything you needed to know about protecting your invention globally.

Here's what was covered:
✅ PCT basics - What it was, how it worked, and why it mattered no matter where you were in your invention journey
✅ The real costs - What you actually needed to budget for global protection (no surprises) ✅ Strategic timing - When to file PCT vs when to go direct (the 30-month decision that could save or cost you thousands)
✅ Resources available - How to use WIPO tools and get help navigating the system ✅ Enforcement overseas - How you actually protect and enforce your IP if someone was ripping you off in another country
✅ Common mistakes - What Matthias saw inventors doing wrong and how to avoid those pitfalls ✅ Success stories - Real examples of inventors who used PCT to protect and monetize their inventions globally
✅ Future updates - Changes and improvements coming to international filing

Matthias had been with WIPO since 1998, helping inventors and patent professionals navigate the PCT system. He had written the guidelines, trained thousands of applicants, and knew every move needed to protect an invention internationally without getting burned.

This event was for you if:

You were just starting and wanted to understand your global IP options from day one
You were developing your invention and needed to know when international protection mattered
You had filed or had a U.S. patent and wondered what was next for international coverage
You were manufacturing overseas and needed to protect your IP there
Someone was already knocking off your product internationally and you wanted to know your options
You were confused about PCT costs, timing, and what WIPO could actually do for you

You were just starting and wanted to understand your global IP options from day one
You were developing your invention and needed to know when international protection mattered
You had filed or had a U.S. patent and wondered what was next for international coverage
You were manufacturing overseas and needed to protect your IP there
Someone was already knocking off your product internationally and you wanted to know your options
You were confused about PCT costs, timing, and what WIPO could actually do for you

Your invention deserved global protection. It was time to learn how to do it right.

The National Inventor Club sits down with entrepreneur and inventor Steve Greenspon, former CEO of Honey-Can-Do International. Steve built a consumer goods company from the ground up, scaling it to over $110 million before successfully exiting.

With 35 patents and decades of experience in product development, licensing, manufacturing, and retail distribution, Steve offers a rare, full-picture perspective—both as an inventor and as a business leader.

In this episode, Steve shares insights on:

What licensees look for when inventors pitch products
How licensing deals actually work (royalties, terms, structure)
Building manufacturing partnerships and working with factories
Distribution strategies: buyers, reps, catalogs, and major retailers

**Are you looking to launch your product or invention? If so, trade shows can be a great way to get your product in front of buyers and retailers, or even find a manufacturer to license your invention and earn royalties.
For our July NIC meeting we will be hosting the president of one of the largest trade shows in North America, The Inspired Home Show, Derek Miller, who will share his secrets to success for inventors. He will discuss how to find the right trade shows for your product, how to meet with buyers and retailers, and how to make the most of your trade show experience.
This free livestreaming National Inventor Club meeting is a must-watch for any inventor who is serious about launching their product. You will learn everything you need to know about attending trade shows and how to use them to your advantage.
Here are some of the topics that will be covered in our meeting:
The importance of trade shows for inventors
How to find the right trade shows for your product
How to meet with buyers and retailers at trade shows
How to make the most of your trade show experience
A case study of the Inspired Home Show, a major trade show for the housewares industry
How to find a manufacturer to license your invention and earn royalties
If you’re an inventor with a new product, then this event is for you. Register today and learn how to use trade shows to launch your product, reach your target market, and earn royalties from your invention.
In addition to finding buyers and retailers, trade shows can also be a great way to find a manufacturer to license your invention. Many manufacturers are looking for new products to license, and they often attend trade shows to find them. If you have a patent-pending invention, you can bring your prototype to a trade show and show it to potential manufacturers. If they are interested in your invention, they may be willing to license it from you. This can be a great way to earn royalties from your invention without having to manufacture or distribute it yourself.

About Our Celebrity Guest Speaker, John Tesh
From his early days, it was clear that John Tesh’s path to success was anything but certain. Suspended from college for forging a professor’s signature while trying to change majors, and kicked out of his family home, a young John found himself living in a tent in a North Carolina public park. He soon talked his way into a part-time job at the local radio station and parlayed it into a meteoric career in journalism: from serving as an award-winning CBS News correspondent in Nashville and New York City, to hosting network coverage of international sporting events (1992 and 1996 Olympic Games, Tour de France, Wimbledon), and eventually becoming co-host of Entertainment Tonight—a gig that ended up lasting a decade.

An aspiring musician as well, John self-produced an album that went on to sell only one thousand copies. Determined, he and his wife Connie Sellecca took a huge financial risk and created a television special, John Tesh: Live at Red Rocks, which went on to become one of the most successful public television specials ever. Given the incredible success of the special, Tesh walked away from his seven-figure TV job and launched into a full-time music career that earned him six Emmy Awards, 4 Gold albums, 8 million records sold, sold out concert tours and an induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.

As a composer, John also has the unique distinction of creating what many have hailed as “the greatest sports theme in television history” for NBC Sports basketball: “Roundball Rock.” The song was brought back as part of NBC Television’s coverage of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games.

Not content to stop there, Tesh and his wife created a self-syndicated radio show, The John Tesh Radio Show-Intelligence For Your Life in 1999 as a lifestyle program that offers advice and expert opinions on topics such as health, finance, relationships, careers, and family. Originally heard only on weekends, the show has grown to become an internationally syndicated radio powerhouse that is heard daily on over 300 radio stations across the USA, the UK, and around the world on American Forces Radio Network. The five-hour-long program is broadcast in all time slots and features a unique combination of expert advice and personal development content on the subjects that are important to listeners and their families– all surrounded by listeners’ favorite music on multiple radio formats including Adult Contemporary, Hot AC, Classic Hits, Urban, and Oldies. Today, The John Tesh Radio Show & Intelligence For Your Life brand amasses over 34 million gross impressions per week, while John’s Facebook page delivers 15-20 million engagements per week.

In 2020, Tesh published his memoir, Relentless: Unleashing a Life of Purpose, Grit, and Faith, which revealed how he overcame a terminal cancer diagnosis by relying on the steadfast determination and grit that have been the hallmarks of his life and career.

In 2021, Tesh launched The Warrior Mindset, a live, 24/7 app offering instant streaming access to self-help content and a place where subscribers can connect directly with Tesh for life coaching. The service will be available on Apple TV, Android, Roku and Fire TV.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/48430358Mon, 24 Jan 2022 21:55:49 +0000Brian FriedNIC guest speaker will be John Tesh, heard on practically every major radio station in the country providing great life tips and inspiration with his themed segments called “Intelligence for Your Life” This was our pump-up rah-rah meeting…let’s goooo...This was our pump-up rah-rah meeting…let’s goooo 2022!

Ms. Blackwell also delivers lectures to new examiners at the Patent Training Academy on various topics concerning effective patent examination processes.She has also completed a 9 month detail as a Resource SPE at the Elijah J. McCoy Midwest Regional Office located in Detroit, Michigan where she worked to develop the K-12 outreach program will local school districts.

Ms. Blackwell began her career at the USPTO in December 2000 as an examiner in TC 1700, specifically addressing applications in areas such as semiconductors, nonstructural laminates, glass substrates with coatings, and artificial flora and fauna.In January 2012 she was promoted to a Supervisory Patent Examiner and served as a Trainer for new examiners in the Patent Training Academy.

Ms. Blackwell received a Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Chemical Engineering from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and a Juris Doctor from the University of Maryland at Baltimore.

NIHF Inductee James Wynne

James Wynne is co-inventor of a process using a short pulse ultraviolet laser to etch tissue in minute increments and in a highly controlled fashion. The technique, discovered with his colleagues at IBM, allows removal of material to a precisely determined depth without thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

Until the early 1980s, lasers were used in eye surgery to create scar tissue that had therapeutic value, as when welding a torn or detached retina. The excimer laser breakthrough is used for delicate surgical procedures, most notably refractive eye surgeries such as PRK, and LASIK, which permanently change the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Wynne, a physicist, received his A.B. in 1964 and his Ph.D. in 1969 from Harvard. He then joined IBM, working at the Zurich Research Laboratory before moving to the Watson Research Center in New York, where he was manager of the laser physics and chemistry group when excimer laser surgery was discovered. The recipient of many honors, including the National Medal of Technology and Innovation and NAE’s Russ Prize, Wynne is presently exploring new ways to apply laser technology to dermatology. He has also been involved with technical education outreach since 1990.

As an inventor, when we come up with an idea, it can be challenging and lonely navigating through the steps of bringing your ideas to reality. That’s why the National Inventor Club was “invented”, for you to become part of a community of like minded inventors and resources for inventors to help each other keep our invention journey moving forward, together.
