Protect Your Favorite Podcast from the Patent Trolls

Author:

There are often very good reasons people and companies must defend their patents. The Patent system protects inventors. When a patent is infringed on, the holder must take action or risk losing their patent. That is how it works when the system is being used properly. Patent Trolls are not using the system as it was designed.

Patent trolls are not in the business of defending their patents. They are in the business of extortion. They purchase broad general patents and then make claims about infringement. They send out letters claiming a patent infringement and asking for “licensing” fees. It is nearly always cheaper to pay the fee than to fight it in court. Often these patent infringement claims would not likely hold up in court but few businesses are able to fund the 1.5 + million it would take to survive a legal battle.  Even Apple gave in and settled

For us non legal folks, that’s known as a shake down.

What is NMX, Really?

Author:

When I tell people about my job working for a conference, they often ask me, “Okay…what is your conference about?” So I tell them: it’s about blogging, podcasting, video production, social media, mobile, and all other things involving new media.

That’s the blanket answer, the informative answer. But I think the real answer is much deeper. What is NMX all about, really?

NMX is about having a voice.

NMX is about the people who get in front of the camera…

…and the people who are behind the camera.

NMX is about networking with people who really “get” you and your passions.

NMX is about meeting new friends…

…and seeing old ones after months or even years apart.

NMX is about speakers who will change the way you see the world.

NMX is about companies who will change the way you do business.

NMX is about meeting friends you “met” on social media in person for the first time.

NMX is about being proud of your accomplishments, and sharing them with the world.

NMX is you.

Thank you for making this the very best community in the world. Happy holidays, NMX. We hope to see you at our next event in Las Vegas this January!
