How difficult is it really to patent an idea? And what technology could genuinely change the world? In this gear change episode of Drivetime, Jacqui continues her conversation with patent attorney Paul Loustalan from Reddie & Grose Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys. They take a quick-fire look at the innovations changing automotive and some of the myths that surround them.


Paul explains why you can patent more than you might think, how automotive manufacturers share and cross-license technology, and why innovation doesn’t always

need to mean a world-changing breakthrough. Sometimes, it’s simply about making something a little better. It’s a quick-fire conversation about the technology already changing how we drive, the innovations that might transform what comes next, and why you probably have more patentable ideas than you realise.
