Oberbrunner Highlights "Easy IP" in Blockchain Talk
13 Mayo 2024 - 8:00AM
Dr. Kary Oberbrunner, the Berry chair of entrepreneurship at
Cedarville University, will be speaking at the London Blockchain
Conference on May 21-23. The international conference is expected
to draw more than 12,000 participants.
Oberbrunner joins a slate of speakers
including tech company founders; CEOs such as Richard Baker of
Tokenovate, Lily Douse of MOV3 and Clem Chambers of Online
Blockchain; and experts, such as Alun Cairns MP and Andrei
Kirilenko professor of finance at Cambridge Judge Business School,
to discuss the latest innovations in Blockchain, AI and Web 3
technologies.
An international speaker, Oberbrunner
will share on protecting intellectual property through blockchain,
a trustless public ledger. He’ll demonstrate his new patented
technology Easy IP, which protects intellectual property faster,
easier and cheaper than traditional means,
“Having the opportunity to speak at
the London Blockchain Conference is a dream come true,” shared
Oberbrunner, who has invested time and energy into this topic for
years, even building his own company, around technology. He will be
drawing from his book “Blockchain Life: Making Sense of the
Metaverse, NFTs, Artificial Intelligence, Cryptocurrency, Virtual
Reality, Augmented Reality, and Web3” for his talk.
Oberbrunner hopes the event will
allow attendees to embrace and benefit from blockchain technology.
“My goal is to lower the bar of entry and reduce the friction for
entrepreneurs. I want them to create ideas more freely with
the confidence of knowing their intellectual property is
protected.”
As an assistant professor of
entrepreneurship at Cedarville, Oberbrunner is always looking for
ways to connect his professional opportunities to the classroom.
“I definitely draw from this
experience when teaching my entrepreneurial accelerator class,”
said Oberbrunner. “I’m currently doing exactly what I teach my
students to do from idea generation to pitch to pricing. It’s both
scary and exhilarating. I know what the students feel, sitting in
the hot seat, bringing a new idea to the world. There’s nothing
quite like entrepreneurship. The market quickly accepts or rejects
your idea and despite all the due diligence. It’s impossible to
predict the outcome. This is what makes the process so
fun.”
