Intellectual property is a vital business asset that needs protection. It includes all your ideas, creations, products/services that drive growth. 

If you don't protect your intellectual property (IP), you risk competitors stealing or copying what you do, which could lead to lost revenue. 

The digital age has further complicated matters. It is now very easy to accidentally copy someone else's work, thanks to the rise of AI and automation that continue to blur the lines between innovation and imitation. 

But what is intellectual property exactly? 

Where do you start protecting what you own? 

How do you know when to use a copyright, license or trademark?  

And how can you use your intellectual "assets" to increase your sales and achieve business success?

In this episode, our guest Erin Austin breaks down all aspects of intellectual property, its different categories, how to use them and how to start protecting your creations. She also shares tips and insights on using your IP assets to help propel your business forward.

Copying Stories should be like copying the artwork of a master. It isn't copying to claim the work, but to follow the master in their results. 
Like handwriting, or "do what I do" for writers.

So don't be ashamed to copy what someone else did. Just don't pass it off as your own.

Hello to you listening in New London, Connecticut!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Steve Jobs is quoted as saying, “We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.” In fact, some of his early ideas were lifted from Xerox; but he went on to develop his own products using his own creative thinking and intelligence. Copying is just a cheater’s game.

What do I mean? Decades ago one of my story mentors, the inimitable Jay O’Callahan, wrote a story called Orange Cheeks about his childhood days visiting a beloved grandmother. Imagine hearing someone else tell your personal story onstage - as he did -  as if it were their own experience, their own work, no permission, no attribution. 
Drummed into me at a very early storytelling age was this: you do not co-opt, conscript, copy, mimic, or take someone else’s work and call it your own.

As a well-regarded and brilliant wordsmith I am often told, “Oh! That’s perfect! I’m taking that question, tagline, idea, turn of phrase, imagery ...”  To you I say this: No, you won’t. You are smart, creative individuals capable of independent thought. Come up with your own style of expression. Copying someone else’s work is sheer and utter laziness.

Question: What do you think about that?  

You’re invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!
