RIoT Underground
You’ve found us! Welcome to RIoT Underground, the place where you hear from instigators who are changing the world with disruptive technology. Our job? Pulling back the curtain. We talk to passionate disruptors about what they see, what they do, how they got to where they are, and what’s coming next. Have you ever wondered how people drive through their mistakes, learning from them, and capitalizing on them? Have you ever wondered how people find a career in tech, or start a company, or become great leaders? Do you want to hear more about people who succeed - the real stories, not just the wins we see in a highlight reel? Good - us too. And we’re going to bring that and more, here, at RIoT Underground. RIoT Underground is created and produced at RIoT Studios. RIoT produces events, conferences and educational courses around the world and runs an early-stage startup-accelerator in Raleigh, North Carolina. Our nonprofit also operates a wireless test and certification facility under the Wireless Research Center brand. Learn how to engage by visiting us at riot.org.

XXVIII: The Intricate, Ever-Changing Nature of Patent Law, and How it Affects IoT—with John Sotomayor, Founder and Managing Patent Attorney at SotoIP.
Did you know that software hasn't always been patent-eligible? Or that the right to patent and profit off inventions is the only right guaranteed to citizens in the US Constitution? Join us in RIoT Studios for a conversation with John Sotomayor, a former patent examiner and current Managing Patent Attorney at SotoIP. John gifts us a deep dive into the history of patent law, then we fast forward to now, considering the effect of patent law on the 4th industrial revolution. John also shares lots of information that current entrepreneurs and inventors should consider when developing their IP strategy.
