A patent is “the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling” an invention. The U.S. government awards between 200,000 to 300,000 patents per year including ones associated with the concrete industry. Are patents good for the concrete industry?  Returning to the show, Jon Belkowitz of Intelligent Concrete shares his experience with patents and why he believes they benefit the industry. He tells how his ideas were stolen by others in the past and how he protects his ideas today. If you ever thought about patenting your concrete idea, you'll want to tune in to this episode!
