In this eye-opening episode, Kary and Katie uncover how major tech companies like Meta and Google are quietly using your private data to train their AI systems—often without you realizing it. From hidden “opt-out” settings to terms and conditions buried in fine print, they reveal how your everyday emails, meetings, and shared files may already be part of Big Tech’s AI learning. The hosts discuss what creators, entrepreneurs, and professionals can do to protect their intellectual property, stay strategic about privacy, and keep innovating safely in a world where data has become the new oil.

S4 Ep48: How to make your IP outlive you and fund future generations

In this episode of You Are an IP Company, Kary and Katie explore how intellectual property isn’t just for you — it’s for your legacy. From Disney to Hello Kitty, C.S. Lewis to Michael Jackson, some of the world’s most iconic brands and creators continue to generate income long after their founders are gone. Kary and Katie unpack how smart IP strategy can create generational wealth, why trademarks protect both businesses and consumers, and what happens when you ignore your intellectual property. They also share real-life stories from entrepreneurs facing IP disputes — and the lessons learned from cease-and-desist letters, branding missteps, and even divorce cases involving IP assets. If you’re an author, entrepreneur, or creative, this episode will change how you think about ownership, protection, and the value of what you create.

From real stories of stolen content to practical steps for protecting your creative assets, this conversation blends inspiration with strategy.

S4 Ep46: AI Wearables Now Threaten IP Infringement in Brand New Ways

AI wearables are changing everything — and not always for the better. Kary and Katie reveal how smart devices are creating new forms of IP theft and what creators and brands must do to stay protected. If you have a website, a podcast, social media accounts, or even a LinkedIn profile, then you SHOULD be using Instant IP to protect your ideas. If not, AI WILL scrape your content and serve it up to other people as search results to their prompts. The world will then take and use your ideas, thinking that they’re original. They may even lock you out of your own idea, claiming they created it first. PROTECT your first idea FREE ► https://instantip.app/ [https://instantip.app/]
