DC169 Interview: Michael Levine on the USA Patent Process
Patent Agent Michael Levine joins Timothy Keirnan to discuss the process by which inventors obtain patent protection for their ideas in the United States. What is a patent? How do inventors research to learn whether their idea is truly novel? What are the steps and costs associated with researching and filing for a patent? What about patenting a novel idea in other nations? In this 68 minute episode, we'll learn answers to those questions and hear some anecdotes about fascinating patents Michael has seen in his career as a patent agent.

DC168 Interview: Viktor Rydal on the Nomono Sound Capsule
This is our last episode for a while, but is well worth the wait! We have an interview with Viktor Rydal, industrial designer from Nomono, who talks with Tim about the Nomono Sound Capsule.
Visit the Nomono website about the SoundCapsule (https://nomono.co/) to see and hear their demonstrations. This truly innovative solution records conversations with its custom lapel mics into its Sound Capsule hub, and their cloud application removes bad room acoustics to create astoundingly good audio from rooms that did NOT sound good to begin with. It's an interviewer's dream come true. Whether used by user researchers, journalists, or conference organizers, the Nomono Sound Capsule achieves good clean audio recordings in everyday noisy environments. The Sound Capsule allows the interviewer to focus on the interview, not worry about the audio engineering and room acoustics.
For over an hour, Viktor and Tim talk about the story of the Sound Capsule's design and development.
Tim is enjoying his new job teaching at Michigan Technological University but needs to focus on the relocation and new job in its first year--so no more episodes for a while. Expect us...when you hear us. Thanks for listening since 2005 and we promise some more episodes in the future. Check www.designcritique.net for the occasional blog post in the mean time.

* Duhsyant's professional background
* The importance of user experience to employees working in an enterprise--both to their morale and their productivity.
* Dushyant and Tim share eyebrow-raising anecdotes from enterprise user experience projects they have been on. Employees need effective, efficient, and enjoyable products/tools as much as external customers do.

You can reach Dushyant at his LinkedIn page. His book's publisher is at this link:
