What if the goal isn't just to have a patent, but to surround an entire technology with so many patents that no one else can move without bumping into one? That's the idea behind patent thickets. In this episode, we unpack how large companies deliberately build dense webs of overlapping patents, why this strategy can be incredibly powerful, and how it affects startups, competitors, and innovation itself. If you've ever wondered why some technologies feel impossible to break into, this episode explains the quiet patent strategy that's often doing the blocking.
