- For centuries, inventors and entrepreneurs have often been hesitant to share new ideas for fear of these ideas getting stolen. There is substantial value in sharing developing ideas to get feedback, and proof of concept, however, there's also a risk in doing so. The traditional ways of protecting intellectual property-copyrights, trademarks, and patents- are slow, expensive, and cumbersome.
This talk proposes another way of protecting intellectual property that's faster, easier, and cheaper all made possible through blockchain technology. Through the creation of tamper-proof, time-stamped, digital smart contracts, creators can now protect intellectual property with greater ease, flexibility, and speed. Blockchains enable a public ledger that's decentralized, distributed, and global to prove ownership. The result is a new world of innovation and abundance.
The system proposed in this talk not only allows those who have used traditional protection mechanisms like copyright to have a faster way to protect their property, it provides a much more accessible option for those who could not afford traditional methods of intellectual property.

The fear of having our ideas stolen is a real obstacle. Blockchain offering immediate protection could be a game-changer for creators.
Thank you for shedding light on the challenges of protecting ideas. Blockchain's potential to revolutionize intellectual property is exhilarating
Ahhh…yes. Totally correct?
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 !
IP is so important. It's so valuable these days.
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.
OutsideTheBoxLeadership and TalkYourWalk! Keep it up Kary!💜
Thanks Suzanne. I'll never forget when we met way back when. Keep creating awesome IP.
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.
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.
Blockchain: the superhero for the unsung ideas. Ready to embrace this transformative era!
Superhero. Love it.
Loving the playground analogy! Blockchain as the new fence makes total sense. Let's create freely
Right there with you
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.
The comparison between the value of physical and intellectual property over the years is eye-opening. Blockchain might level the playing field.
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 analogy of the fence height in the playground is genius. Blockchain's sweet spot could be the solution we've been waiting for.
There is a growing number who thinks this too. You're in great company.
Exciting times for creators! Blockchain offering a new playground where ideas can flourish. Count me in
Love to hear this. Yep...I am in too.
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.
The playground analogy is spot on. We all need that fence to feel secure in exploring and creating. Blockchain could be that fence.
Love it. You caught the main message. Yep, it's a new era for sure.
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.
The playground analogy hits home. Feeling inspired to venture into the creative jungle!
You and me. Sweet and congrats. Welcome to the Jungle.
Really interesting and groundbreaking idea, thanks for sharing this!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
The vulnerability in sharing your struggle with depression is a powerful opening.
Thank you. It was something God healed me from. Not easy, but my past is something I don't need to hide from.
I’ve shared this far and wide - brilliant!
Wow. I appreciate you.
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.
Great talk! Looking forward to seeing how EasyIP impacts many lives!
Thank you. We're thrilled to have you as a client. Congrats on all of your new product designs for your incredible running gloves.
Really great insight Dr. KO. Loved the information you shared on blockchain
Thank you. It's an honor to serve.
Very inspiring talk with great information! Helpful to anyone wanting to start their own business and own their own IP.
Start-ups are so exciting.
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.
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 ❤️
Let me know what your daughters think or if you need help. I love to set free world changing ideas.
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.
Thank you for your kind words.
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!
Mind blown! Blockchain making ideas soar without the crazy hurdles! Abra Kadabra indeed! ✨
It’s pretty exciting
Really love this talk, thank you for the information 😊
So glad you like it. Keep creating IP.
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.
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.
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
You are kind. Thanks for your feedback.
The struggle to protect ideas has stifled creativity for too long! Excited about the potential of blockchain to remove those barriers.
Sounds like you are well on your way. Keep creating.
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 is the talk of the year!
Thank you. It was definitely fun.
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
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.
What a great speech and idea. The right boundary and the right height. Thanks for a great thought about a much needed idea for the world we live in.
I am so glad it resonated with you. Thanks for your kind words.
Blockchain protection sounds very appealing.
This is great TED !
Thank you for watching.
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.
Enjoyed the talk. Great work!
Thanks for watching the talk. Glad you liked it.
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?
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.
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 thing about tangible and intangible assets was really interesting to think about!
Thank you for your kind words. Ideas are certainly powerful.
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!
Thanks for your comments. We're here to help on the HOW. We are many people's WHO. Just look up Easy IP.
Insightful and inspiring! Kary- Thank youfor your perspective, expertise, and generosity in sharing! It is an honor to call you a friend! Jill Ombrello
Love your book. Keep doing such awesome work with your patients. Thanks for serving.
Excellent talk Kary! Great job and we must embrace the future - not fear it.
You and me both. Never stop creating.
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.
Beneficial and valuable information especially for entrepreneurs!
Entrepreneurs fire me up. Thanks so much. Keep creating amazing content.
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.
‘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.
Inspiring talk. Protection of intellectual property will allow more creativity to arise.
That is the goal
Great Tedx! Thank you for sharing.
The world needs more speakers like you.
Thank you
One of the best i’ve heard
Wow. Great to hear.
You’ve given me a new perspective on life.
Abracadabra :)
"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.
Thank you for your kind thoughts here. Well done.
Glad i listened to this , great share
I appreciate you.
Brilliant talk, congratulations!
Glad it inspired you.
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
Great to hear you are on board. Welcome.
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.
Great talk and thoughtful
Thanks so much for your kind words.
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!
Thanks for the feedback. The speech would not allow for a demo. Our website provides this however. A demo could have been deemed as self promo.
Just google us.
We have many free helpful tools.
Really really interesting and thought provoking
Thank you for your kind words.
Bravo! A standing ovation from my living room.
😂 love this
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.
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.
Wow love that AI insight. Well said.
Your authenticity shines through.
Thank you. We have to be real for sure.
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.
Thank you Karen. Keep creating your IP. The world needs it.
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!!
Wow. Glad to hear that. That's the goal: Faster. Easier. Cheaper.
Great talk! Very useful information that was shared!
Keep being a light in the world.
Wow! What amazing information!
I can’t wait to share this with everyone I know.
That would be awesome
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?
This talk moved me to tears.
Wow. So glad to hear this.
Brilliant talk Kary. Resonates, inspiring and empowering 🙌🙏
Thrilled to hear this.
Great topic and a great talk.
Thanks so much.
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.
Glad to hear this. Keep creating.
I had heard that IP was the most important asset in the modern economy, this really adds to that statement. Definitely going to have a proper think about how best to implement on this. Thank you!
You are correct. Super important in our new digital world.
A great talk for creators foreseeing the trajectory of the future, and seeking to create into it.
The future is here.
Really well done
Thank you so much.
My son is in the middle of the OLD patent process. I'm excited to show him EasyIP on the BlockChain. It may give him the ability to skip the old lines and get his idea out into the market now! Thank you, Kary!
Love it. It might not replace a patent, but it will certainly be the first layer and fast layer. Let us know how to help.
