Ready to flip the script on how you think about intellectual property? In this episode of Ops Or Die, we dive into the world of IP with Paul Kallmes—yes, the guy who turns “paperwork” into power moves. Whether you’re a founder navigating patents, a COO wrestling with licensing, or just tired of hearing “IP strategy” tossed around like a buzzword, Paul brings the real talk. He’s sharing how to operationalize your IP: build systems, guard your innovation, and stop letting your ideas sit on the shelf collecting dust.

You’ll learn:

• What true IP operations look like (and the ops traps to avoid).
• How to make your IP work for you—not the other way around.
• War stories from the frontline of patents, licensing, and commercialization.
• The sassy truth: if you’re not operationalizing IP, your competition might be making your mistakes into their next product.

So buckle up. This isn’t your standard legal-talk episode. It’s about turning intangible assets into concrete business engine. And yes—there will be attitude. Because when your IP isn’t just “covered” but operational, someone’s going to ask, “How’d you do that?”

Tune in and get ready to level up your IP game.
