We had a blast speaking with inventors Donna Lee and Jim Gurule. Donna has invented a novel and sustainable yoga mat made with machine washable materials, and is softer and more durable. Jim has invented many types of cabinetry tools, including a clamp he invented in late 1990s that still sells 5000 units per month. He discussed some of his lessons learned and how he's still developing new products, as he just filed for a patent last month.
We wrap up with a shark tank critique of a duo who is pitching a novel yoga mat themselves, called Stakt.

۸ weeks پیش1:01:12

1:01:12

This week’s episode of the Bold Inventor Show delivers an unmissable double feature spotlighting the intersection of IP strategy, product innovation, and medical validation. Join your hosts J.D. Houvener and Matt Kulseth as they welcome two dynamic innovators reshaping comfort and care across continents: Facel Casta-Baez , the inventive mind behind Emu Comfort , and Julio Martinez-Clark , the entrepreneurial engine driving Bioaccess —Latin America’s premier CRO for U.S. med-tech startups. What happens when a debilitating injury leads to a world-class pillow design? Or when global clinical trials become the bridge between startup dreams and acquisition by healthcare giants? You’ll hear these bold stories and more—backed by real strategy , hard data , and a whole lot of entrepreneurial heart. ❤️💡 💫 Key Highlights From This Power-Packed Episode: 🛏️ Necessity Breeds Innovation: Facel shares how neck pain at age 22 sparked a journey from napkin sketches to two issued design patents and a medically-backed product sold under the Emu Comfort brand. Her journey began with real pain—and ended in real traction. 📏 From X-Rays to Pillows: With meticulous research into cranium shapes and memory foam densities, Facel designed therapeutic pillows that reduce cervical strain, improve breathing, and even relieve TMJ and post-surgery pain. 🧠 Patents, Trademarks, and Pivoting Strategy: Facel reveals how Emu Comfort’s initial market position as a novelty product evolved into a registered medical device . We dive into her IP strategy—how she filed her own USPTO trademarks and moved manufacturing to China while exploring opportunities in Puerto Rico. 💼 Latin America: The Hidden Gateway for FDA-Grade Data: Julio Martinez-Clark breaks down how Bioaccess helps U.S. med-tech startups run first-in-human clinical trials in countries like Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica—getting them to market faster, leaner, and smarter. 💸 Fast-Track Your FDA Game: Startups often burn $100K–$300K per month. Julio’s clients skip U.S. red tape, getting real-world results in 30–45 days versus a 2–3 year slog with the FDA. It’s time-to-market acceleration, Latin-style. 🧑‍⚕️ Expert-Led Validation = Investor Confidence: Hear why top-tier clinical data isn’t just for compliance—it’s a business strategy. Julio explains how startups win over investors (and acquirers like Medtronic) by leveraging KOLs and international trials to prove efficacy before scaling. 🧾 Why IP + Evidence = Lasting Brands: Both guests agree—selling “comfort” is easy. Selling science-backed results is rare. If you want to build a brand that lasts, don’t just tell a story—show the data, file the patents, and partner with medical leaders. 🎤 Bonus: Shark Tank Breakdown J.D. and Matt wrap up the episode with a breakdown of the Pluto Pillow Shark Tank pitch—highlighting their utility patent, margin structure, and why strong IP is only half the battle. 🛠️ Lessons Inventors & Founders Will Love: 🧩 How to identify a patent-worthy design in everyday discomfort 🛍️ What makes a trademark “function” in apparel and medical markets 🇵🇷 How Puerto Rican inventors can leverage U.S. IP systems 🌎 The “secret playbook” of doing clinical trials in Latin America 💬 The power of NDAs, non-solicits, and culture-aligned partners Support the show Have an invention or brand to protect?

Inventors often ask: "Do I need a patent or a trademark?" 🏆 Patents protect how something works (functionality, mechanics, or formulas). 🎨 Trademarks protect branding (logos, product names, and designs). ⚖️ Both? Some products—like a unique cosmetic brand —use both to create stronger protection. 💰 How to Fund Your Invention Vince Edwards of EB Ventures shares key funding tips: ✔️ Prove Market Demand – Investors fund scalable ideas with real demand. ✔️ Strong Branding – A registered trademark makes your business more attractive. ✔️ Licensing vs. Launching – Some inventors profit by licensing patents instead of starting companies. 🔥 Shark Tank Breakdown: Euphoria Beauty’s Smart Patent Strategy We analyzed a Beauty , a brand that landed a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank. Here’s what worked: ✔️ Design Patents: Protecting the product packaging instead of the formula. ✔️ Trademarks: Securing the brand name to build value. ✔️ Trade Secrets: Keeping the formula confidential instead of patenting it. 📢 Lesson for Inventors: Not every innovation needs a utility patent—sometimes design patents & trade secrets are the smarter play! 🚀 Want expert guidance?
