I attended your talk in person and was impressed, Kary. You are a gifted public speaker, and you held the audience's attention for the duration of your talk. Thank you for sharing your insights on intellectual property protection, an important topic in this day and age of "click, highlight, and copy." Thank you for all the time and effort you put into preparing for this presentation and for making the time to travel to Oshkosh.
As a creator of "Tomorrow's Technologies, Today," I assist companies in creating IP of their own. I will add this Tedx as a required viewing for all new content creation. GREAT WORK, KARY!
It's interesting because when I think of a fence I think "this is stopping me from getting out" the way he explains it though, about keeping dangers from getting _in_ definitely shifted my perspective
Oh man he is spot on about the way IP theft affects other people on top of those it happens to. It's just so disheartening when you see it happen and it's happening literally all the time.
It took so many hours of prep. I've never prepared for something so much in the past. But the topic is so important to me. We need more ideas out in the world.
I resonate with the struggles of protecting intellectual property. Blockchain's potential to simplify this process is exciting, but it still worrisome in that how much control it will digital companies have in the future.
Awesome Tedx Talk Kary. It was super cool to hear you do this in person. I found this to be very insightful and super cool as I look to hopefully publish IP in the future.
Man this will be amazing for artists! The amount of times I've seen SM accounts include art in their posts without even crediting the artist is ridiculous
Creating a publishing company to help authors bring their ideas to life is a fantastic mission. Keep igniting those souls and I'll be in touch once I finish my book! LOL
I'm starting to see articles about regulators looking into what's happening with consumer data and it makes me think about how easy it is to become someone else. How shocking that your creativity feels like a stolen identity. Certainly makes it real when happens to you.
Insightful and inspiring! Kary- Thank youfor your perspective, expertise, and generosity in sharing! It is an honor to call you a friend! Jill Ombrello
Thank you! IP protection saved me when I almost lost my first company. I appreciate your commitment to entrepreneurs - and those of us wanting to get back to the playground.
Wow! Thank you so much for doing this talk Kary! I feel like you just put a shiny new set of swings on my playground, along with that nice new fence! I know how scary it can be to even put your story, or your work out in the world. The thought of someone stealing it and claiming it as their own is gut wrenching. I will definitely be sharing this with my younger brothers and extended family, they are always thinking and creating too.
Ha ha. Love the playground analogy. Yep, anytime we put ourselves out there it's scary. However, when you see your message impact people it's worth it. Keep creating.
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." - Oscar Wilde. Today's technology is frightening in how one can claim this as their own. Wonderful work being done here.
Great job Kary! Blockchain and technology can be difficult topics to explain. I love how you not only made it easy to understand, but also fun. Your delivery was "just right"!
I had no idea about those stats on counterfeit goods and the global impact... pretty crazy and definitely time for a change. If blockchain can help that then I'm all for it
This is creativity at its best! I intend to share this with my daughters who are both avid creators who are always having their thoughts and ideas stolen…this will be a game changer thank you Kary ❤️
Excellent presentation on a topic that is still a bit controversial in some circles and conversations. I loved the way you developed the idea of block chain technology with the "parable" of a playground and the word "abrakadabra." I confess you changed my thinking about block chain and opened my mind to the opportunities technology has introduced for today and the future. Well done! Glad you received confirmation of your message from so many listeners.
Kary, I’d dare say many creative people aren’t evening thinking about the importance of protecting one’s ideas and concepts. This is a game changer and thank you for sharing your journey to igniting souls! You’re an awesome inspiration!
We referenced this excellent video in Milwaukee WI yesterday with HS students in an Econ class. The students were sharing ideas and inventions. How awesome to be able to share a way to protect their intellectual property!
Awesome presentation about blockchain... I love the way how the presenter brings an introduction about blockchain and explains it step by step to the audience...
@@KaryOberbrunner - I recently published my first book and within a day of publishing it, two "workbooks" with my book title and even my name were created. They used my name on the front cover of their workbooks and it felt violating. I had never had someone do that before and it was a tough experience to go through. I ended up reporting them to Amazon and one workbook was removed but the other still remains because they changed it slightly after the first one got removed. There is a lot of authors this has happened to and while I'm not alone, it was discouraging and violating to have someone use your story, the method you developed, and your name as their own.
@@TaraLaFonGooch my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry this happened. I just visited your channel and watched your featured video. Nice to meet you. Keep creating amazing IP, despite the pirates. Your work is changing lives.
As a creative and entrepreneur, i’m happy to hear that there is a more accessible way of protecting one’s intellectual property. It’s a topic that comes up regularly in discussions when people have their ideas and designs stolen. I’m not sure how to access and use blockchain, but this is definitely worth looking into. Thank you for sharing this information!
Kary, This is a great insight into a new way to avoid the old cumbersome process. The information in your talk helps creators to have freedom to focus on what they do best and not have to get defeated in the process. Thanks for your talk!!
Thank you for your TEDx talk. This is a hot topic right now and going forward for many creators of content. We spend countless hours creating content of various kinds - posts, books, articles, blogs, websites, videos, original works of art (and so on), only to risk it being pirated, ripped off, or plagiarized. This topic is a growing concern for all of us (on many levels), and affects us monetarily in some or most cases. And...with the rise of AI algorithms that scrub the Internet and spit out data from compiled sources, ownership of works and how to protect (and enforce) our copyright is top of mind for all creators.
Great talk! I am trying to learn more. I would've liked an example or two with a short breakdown of how it's applied or how it works and looks practically to help me understand it a bit better. Like, how does that work for physical product ideas? Do you just have a description of it in a document that's put on blockchain or something? I understand it's useful and well secured, but I'm having trouble understanding how it works in practical interaction and experience. I can't picture what this looks like in actual application, so examples would've been great to help with that, I think. I'll read Kary's book soon. I just haven't had much time to do that yet. Maybe the answers I need are in there. But, overall, I'm glad he shared this overview of blockchain!
The value of our IP needs to be protected, like our identities. Such a powerful, relevant topic for our ever-evolving technological world. Kary has delivered this message succinctly and has made me think more about protecting my ideas and being brave enough to share those.
When it does not constitute a breach of contract, no reproduction of an idea or work should be considered theft, as it results in multiplication and not subtraction.
Congrats on the TedTalk. I love the authenticity of your story. It was a perfect example of the world we live in today and the absolute necessity of needing to protect your IP. This is cutting-edge and timely technology. Thank you for leading the way.
It seems such a sad fact that creatives and inventors need to fear their ideas being stolen instead of being able to just... discuss, collaborate and create freely
As usual Kary is on the cusp of the new norm. I believe that sooner rather than later, more creators will be protecting their ideas using this technology.
Blockchain: the superhero for the unsung ideas. Ready to embrace this transformative era!
Superhero. Love it.

Thank you friend. I highly encourage my viewers to watch your amazing TEDx talk on hearing. You opened my mind. You're amazing.
Great talk Kary, this topic is super futuristic and will allow entrepreneurs to have confidence and safety in their ideas.
Wow. Thank you. I am here to help. I appreciate all you're doing.
Well done, Kary! Congratulations on the accomplishment.
Thank you for your kind words.
So fortunate for us that the blockchain technology is public domain.
Agree. We are blessed indeed.
Loving the playground analogy! Blockchain as the new fence makes total sense. Let's create freely
Right there with you
Great speech, Kary! I'd love to see a part 2 with concrete examples and use cases.
As a creator of "Tomorrow's Technologies, Today," I assist companies in creating IP of their own. I will add this Tedx as a required viewing for all new content creation. GREAT WORK, KARY!
Thanks for including this TEDx talk as part of your essential viewing. Great to hear.
Your dedication to helping young inventors launch their ideas is commendable. We need more mentors like you in the world.
Deeply honored. Those people inspire me.
Fascinating! Blockchain as the Uber moment for IP protection... definitely appreciated the analogy and I'm ready to witness the revolution!
Thank you for your kind words. Revolution here we come.
It's interesting because when I think of a fence I think "this is stopping me from getting out" the way he explains it though, about keeping dangers from getting _in_ definitely shifted my perspective
Deep thought there for sure. Great insight.
This was fantastic to see live! Very informative and well delivered. Thanks Kary!
Thanks for watching it live. It was great meeting you.
That would be so cool to see it live!
I love the analogy between the playground fence and blockchain. Security is key for fostering creativity and innovation
So glad you found it helpful.
The playground analogy hits home. Feeling inspired to venture into the creative jungle!
You and me. Sweet and congrats. Welcome to the Jungle.
Thank you for shedding light on the challenges of protecting ideas. Blockchain's potential to revolutionize intellectual property is exhilarating
Ahhh…yes. Totally correct?
Got to watch it live-- incredible topic and delivery. Can't wait to see how this takes off in the future!
Thanks for watching it live too. I am excited to see your IP impact the world.
Me too!
Keep creating :) @@kristylongfellow3428
Oh man he is spot on about the way IP theft affects other people on top of those it happens to. It's just so disheartening when you see it happen and it's happening literally all the time.
But now we have a solution.
One of the best TEDx Talks of the year thus far
It took so many hours of prep. I've never prepared for something so much in the past. But the topic is so important to me. We need more ideas out in the world.
I had the opportunity to watch this talk in person, and it was great! Enjoyed it. Great job, Dr. Kary Oberbrunner.
Wow. Great to see you here. I am a big fan of your jewelry business. Protect that IP.
The comparison between the value of physical and intellectual property over the years is eye-opening. Blockchain might level the playing field.
I have never heard such a quick and concise explanation of blockchain 😂😂 well done sir.
Thank you. It's taken me a few years for sure.
This is great, so many time I want to share my ideas or short stories I've written on social media but am so aware/cautious of someone stealing them.
I hear you Andrew. Now you have a solution. Enjoy.
I’m in awe of your storytelling.
Thank you. I do like to tell stories.
I resonate with the struggles of protecting intellectual property. Blockchain's potential to simplify this process is exciting, but it still worrisome in that how much control it will digital companies have in the future.
Yes....but the genie is out of the bottle as they say. No going back now.
@@KaryOberbrunner Good point...
@@ninamenes All good.
Well done! Enough to move this tech-sceptic off the fence. Loved the pacing, for listeners to think, consider!
Wow. That's a big compliment. I'm thrilled to hear it. Thanks for sharing this win. Keep creating.
The thing about tangible and intangible assets was really interesting to think about!
Thank you for your kind words. Ideas are certainly powerful.
Mind blown! Blockchain making ideas soar without the crazy hurdles! Abra Kadabra indeed! ✨
It’s pretty exciting
Awesome Tedx Talk Kary. It was super cool to hear you do this in person. I found this to be very insightful and super cool as I look to hopefully publish IP in the future.
I am glad you found it intriguing.
This talk hits hard. It's true, the bar for protecting ideas is ridiculously high. Blockchain could be a game-changer.
Thank you. This is the goal. Ideas need much less friction.
Leaving a stable job to pursue your passion takes guts. Your journey is a testament to the power of following one's calling
Thank you. It certainly wasn't easy. Worth it though? YES!
Man this will be amazing for artists! The amount of times I've seen SM accounts include art in their posts without even crediting the artist is ridiculous
Well said. Yes, I have a deep passion for artists and inventors.
Abra Kadabra, indeed! The idea of creating and protecting simultaneously is exciting. Blockchain is paving the way for a new era.
It gets me fired up....a brand new world opened up.
I never realized the shift from tangible to intellectual assets. It's eye-opening to see the value in ideas now.
It is mind blowing for sure. Our world has changed in one generation.
Awesome talk! It’s been a blessing to be able to learn from you in person. Keep doing great things!
You are the one who inspires me. Keep creating amazing IP.
OutsideTheBoxLeadership and TalkYourWalk! Keep it up Kary!💜
Thanks Suzanne. I'll never forget when we met way back when. Keep creating awesome IP.
This is great! The talk live was even better, learned a lot.
Ha ha. Glad you saw it live too. Thank you. I love helping people set free world-changing ideas.
I’ll be rewatching this for sure.
That’s awesome
Yes - I get something new from it each time I watch it!
Heard this speech in person!
Great discussion about a future technology that can help people protect themselves!
Thank you. Keep creating great content.
Creating a publishing company to help authors bring their ideas to life is a fantastic mission. Keep igniting those souls and I'll be in touch once I finish my book! LOL
Thank you for your kind words. Reach out when you are ready. We are here to help.
Blockchain as the 'fence' for intellectual property is a brilliant analogy. It's about time we had a solution to encourage more creators.
Thank you. I am glad you like it. Yep, we need an easy metaphor. Fence seems to be connecting.
I'm starting to see articles about regulators looking into what's happening with consumer data and it makes me think about how easy it is to become someone else. How shocking that your creativity feels like a stolen identity. Certainly makes it real when happens to you.
Interesting connection you made. Thank you. @@thephilosopher59

Ideas doubling every 12 hours? That's mind-blowing. The urgency to protect them is real, and blockchain seems like a promising solution.
You caught the vision. Yep. We need a new solution. The speed of technology demands it.
Thank you! IP protection saved me when I almost lost my first company. I appreciate your commitment to entrepreneurs - and those of us wanting to get back to the playground.
interesting Chris !

Love it. You caught the main message. Yep, it's a new era for sure.
Thank you for this material)
My pleasure. Glad you liked it.
The vulnerability in sharing your struggle with depression is a powerful opening.

Awesome presentation about blockchain...
I love the way how the presenter brings an introduction about blockchain and explains it step by step to the audience...
Thank you. You're super kind. It was fun to do.
When did he do that? Can you time stamp the step by step part?
What an informative TEDx talk!!! I have my idea stolen before and it felt so personal and heartbreaking that someone stole my story.
Oh no. Someone stole it? I know how this feels. Is everything ok now? How did it all end?

Blockchain protection sounds very appealing.
Thank you. It's quite exciting.
Well done! Insightful, clear, playful, and engaging! Such a great way to simplify IP and the benefits of Blockchain! You nailed it!!!

Thanks Lynne. Keep creating your IP.
‘Created to be creators’, thank you Kary for an inspiring talk. Loved it!
Thrilled to hear it. Yes it’s who we were born to be. Creators.
thats a way, to finally tell blockchain, very few people are able to... bcoz jargon is toooooo much!
Thanks for your vote of confidence.
Spectacular TEDx Kary! It was a well-written and delivered talk. You brought IP protection to life in an accessible and engaging way. Abracadabra!
Thank you for your kind words.
Concerns about security aside, the prospect of easier and faster IP protection is music to a creator's ears
So glad to hear this. Keep creating.
The exponential growth of technology and knowledge emphasizes the need for a faster, more accessible way to protect ideas. Blockchain fits the bill.
Better, cheaper, faster, easier. Love it.
Excellent talk Kary! Great job and we must embrace the future - not fear it.
You and me both. Never stop creating.
I’ve shared this far and wide - brilliant!

Wow love that AI insight. Well said.
I didn't understand what blockchain was, you explained it so it makes sense. Thanks for a great explanation!
That's my passion....making it simple.
@@KaryOberbrunnerwhat blockchain are you using?
Wow love this your very inspiring and a lot of fantastic messages in this to take away for sure. Very well spoken indeed well done

When it does not constitute a breach of contract, no reproduction of an idea or work should be considered theft, as it results in multiplication and not subtraction.
Interesting. So where do it end? Should Apple products be copied? Songs? Art? Film? Inventions. What constitutes as a breach of contract?
Enjoyed the talk. Great work!

Thank you Karen. Keep creating your IP. The world needs it.
Inspiring talk. Protection of intellectual property will allow more creativity to arise.
That is the goal
I'd never heard of this concept before this. As I build my own brand, IP protection is critical. Very interesting!
Yes. Your IP is super valuable. It's never too early to protect it.
This Ted Talk should have been called ‘Abracadabra’
You know it.
