I know it is crazy to go around the world in two weeks, but the two patent conferences I usually attend were back-to-back. That meant a flight from Denver to Russia, then from Russia to Bali. It took my travel agent several weeks to work out the itinerary, and I wouldn’t find out until later,…

Fox’s Pitch and Gil
Thursday night I turned on the television and saw a female pitcher on the mound for the San Diego Padres. It took me a minute to realize this was Fox’s new series, Pitch. I watched it for a bit, curious to see what it was all about. After all, my book, Gil, about a 44…

PRx Performance – Home Gym on Shark Tank
I was catching up on my Shark Tank episodes and the new home gym from PRx Performance caught my attention. I have a home gym with a full Smith machine, which I really love. However, it takes up a lot of room. The weight rack from PRx has most of the same features, but takes…

KidRunner on Shark Tank
This week on Shark Tank, Will Warne pitched his new contraption for toting along a child while running. He calls his product the KidRunner. Having purchased a few of these myself, I was curious about his solution. Based on his presentation, the product looked pretty good. But the Sharks hated his “Go to market…
Musings on NoPhone and Coolbox on Shark Tank
This week on Shark Tank highlighted a phone that wasn’t a phone and an overkill toolbox. Both were touted to be covered by patents—at least until the presenters were grilled a bit. Then it came out that only provisional applications had been filed. So what are the Sharks’ positions on patents? With Mark Cuban, that’s…
