      Invisible Borders
      Jun 13 2025
      In this Kafka-style audio story, we follow a lone inventor navigating the surreal bureaucracy of the European Patent Office after their invention—designed to prevent safety breaches before they happen—is dismissed for being “not novel.” Based on real-world decision T 0753/22, Invisible Borders dramatizes the tension between innovation and interpretation, where meaning collapses under procedural rules and every claim must defend itself against what was already known. A haunting parable for patent professionals—and anyone who’s ever tried to cross a line they couldn’t see.
