    Clause 8

    Clause 8 is the long-form IP podcast hosted by Eli Mazour, featuring conversations with the people and forces shaping the patent system.

    Its audience includes sophisticated in-house counsel, judges, IP policymakers, senior USPTO officials, patent dealmakers, and leading practitioners. The show is designed to help listeners stay ahead of the curve by understanding not just the latest patent developments, but the personalities, incentives, and institutions behind them.

    Clause 8 features conversations that provide strategic insight into patent law, policy, innovation, licensing, and other issues affecting the IP community. Past guests have included major American innovators, federal judges, USPTO Directors, senior IP staff on Capitol Hill, in-house leaders, patent dealmakers — and Carole Baskin’s attorney from Tiger King.

    Law360 featured Clause 8 first in its 2026 list of “5 Podcasts to Keep IP Attys Entertained and Informed,” describing its guests as “a bit of a who’s who of IP law.”

    Clause 8 has also been covered or cited by Bloomberg, Courthouse News Service, Above the Law, IAM, Original Jurisdiction, and other publications.

Mr. Kappos is the former head of intellectual property (IP) at IBM, former Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and now serves as a partner at Cravath.

    As the conversation unfolds, Mr. Kappos shares his own story beginning in law school. He shares about how his dream for a career in patent writing and prosecution surprisingly morphed into executive opportunities at IBM. Then, Mr. Kappos provides some excellent advice on team development and leadership, specifically how to use delegation to improve yourself and your entire team. He also provides specific advice for a variety of IP counsel.

    Next, Mr. Kappos talks about how he ended up with his position at the USPTO and the changes he implemented to greatly improve the USPTO.

    Finally, as the conversation closes, Mr. Kappos comments on how the current administration is handling IP issues. He expresses gratitude for the current USPTO leadership from Director Iancu. However, he ends the conversation by calling for the White House to release a formal paper in support of policies that will help the rise of 5G technologies. All in all, Eli and Mr. Kappos’s dialogue covers a plethora of topics and is saturated with wisdom for professionals of all calibers to hear.
