AI, Open Source, and the Future of IP: Bold Q&A with J.D. Houvener & Matt Kulseth
In this lively, no-guest-needed episode of The Bold Inventor Show, patent attorney J.D. Houvener and trademark attorney Matt Kulseth bring their signature energy and humor to a rapid-fire Q&A session — tackling everything from the meaning of “made-up phrases” to the tension between patents and open source in today’s innovation economy.
The conversation kicks off with J.D. joking about year-end chaos, holiday crunch time, and even the possibility of a “Bold Patents Black Friday Sale.” But things heat up quickly as the hosts dive into audience questions on trademark myths, copyright confusion, and the classic inventor’s dilemma: Should I patent it or open source it?
Matt breaks down how a catchy phrase or meme can’t be trademarked unless it connects consumers to a specific product — explaining why “six-seven!” won’t make you millions (sorry, kids). J.D. follows by unpacking when open sourcing might make sense, what a defensive publication is, and how licensing can preserve ownership even when you share your innovation with the world.
Then, things take a creative turn as J.D. welcomes Ryan Begin, a digital strategist from Rise Up Media, to discuss AI in marketing, SEO trends, and how Google’s new “Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)” is reshaping how law firms — and inventors — show up online.
And if that wasn’t enough, Ryan flips the mic and interviews J.D. about his newest creative project: Bold Beats, a Spotify series of original AI-generated music inspired by invention, failure, and creativity itself.
Finally, the trio reviews a Shark Tank clip featuring a 13-year-old inventor, celebrates his issued patent, and reminds listeners that even the simplest ideas — like a measuring shovel — can make a big impact.
💡 Whether you’re a first-time inventor, an IP pro, or just curious about where AI meets creativity, this episode delivers insight, laughter, and a few mic-drop moments.
