From Candy Crashes to AI Agents: The Bold Inventor Show’s Deep Dive on Halloween, Music, and the Future of Innovation
Manage episode 517005649 series 3338866

In this week’s episode of The Bold Inventor Show, patent attorney J.D. Houvener and trademark attorney Matt Kulseth return after a brief break — and they’re making up for lost time! This dynamic duo brings their trademark mix of humor, insight, and bold ideas, blending personal stories with cutting-edge legal and tech discussions.
They kick things off with updates from their lives — from JD’s Scottsdale trip celebrating 15 years of marriage to Matt’s volunteer firefighting adventures during a major department merger. But before long, the conversation takes a hilarious detour into Halloween chaos. JD confesses his “anti-Halloween” stance (and watermelon carving rebellion!), railing against candy overload and spooky traditions, while Matt defends the holiday as one of fall’s best community celebrations.
From there, things heat up when JD unveils his latest invention: music. Using AI-powered composition tools like Suno AI and ChatGPT, he’s now producing and releasing original tracks — the first being an upbeat EDM anthem titled “Bold Patents #1.” The hosts discuss how AI is revolutionizing creativity, blurring the line between human and machine-made art, and why JD believes “AI won’t replace people — but people using AI will.”
The conversation turns thoughtful as they unpack the evolving relationship between humans and artificial intelligence — touching on the rise of AI agents, the need for ethical guardrails, and how automation may shift professional roles from “doers” to “AI managers.”
Finally, the duo dives into real-world IP Q&A, tackling live listener and Reddit questions on:
- What to do when a trademark expires and becomes “available” again,
- Whether foreign inventors can file U.S. patents without local counsel,
- How to cut patent costs as a student inventor,
- And why “misspelling” a brand name doesn’t get you around trademark infringement.
This episode is equal parts fun, futuristic, and informative — a must-listen for inventors, creators, and anyone curious about where innovation, law, and laughter meet.
📌 Key Takeaways
- 🍬 JD’s anti-Halloween rant — why he carved watermelons instead of pumpkins
- 💿 AI + music = invention redefined — JD drops his first Bold Patents track
- 🧠 AI agents are coming — from creative chatbots to autonomous assistants
- ⚖️ Expired trademarks — when “dead” doesn’t mean available
- 💰 How to save money on patents — smart student inventor strategies
- 🧩 Freedom to operate opinions — why they matter before going to market
- 📜 Intentional misspellings — still likely to infringe trademarks
- 🤖 Humans as AI managers — the next professional revolution
🎬 Teasers
- “Why JD refuses to celebrate Halloween — and what he carves instead.”
- “Can AI really make good music? JD’s first track says yes.”
- “How a volunteer firefighter and a patent attorney found common ground in invention.”
- “What’s an AI agent — and why it’s the next billion-dollar industry.”
- “Why a misspelled trademark could still land you in court.”
