J.D. and Matt hosted Bold Client, Peter Rudolf the inventor of a self-sanitizing cutting board that would save time/space with a dishwasher-mounted cleaning device integrated with a countertop. Peter went through his invention process and shared the current status of his filings both domestically and internationally. He gives some great tips on how he's approaching the post-grant licensing world and being cautious about vendors/companies that want to help him market his invention. 

They all three critiqued a Shark Tank episode where PrepDeck product owner pitched their solution to preparing meals for chopping/cutting different spices, and ingredients. There was no deal made, but the overall business seemed quite strong with big margins. The only critiques were on the trademark, they should be using the (R) symbol instead of the "TM" symbol on their brand, and on the patent side, while it was good they went after the utility and design, they don't seem to have any foreign/PCT patents pending, so their exclusivity to make/use/sell is limited to the US market.
