Patent Exhaustion - The Hidden Patent Rule Triggered by Your First Customer. EP175
Episode 175
Tuesday, 14 July, 2026

You finally make your first sale. Champagne moment. But what if that very first customer quietly flips a legal switch that limits what patent rights you can enforce going forward? In this episode, we dig into patent exhaustion, the surprisingly powerful doctrine that kicks in once you sell a patented product and can dramatically reshape your control over what happens next. If you've ever assumed your patent gives you endless leverage after a sale, this conversation might change how you think about pricing, licensing, and your go-to-market strategy.
