About This Podcast
🎙️ The R² IP Podcast, hosted by Ray Miller, explores the intersection of law, science, and innovation. Ray is the US Chair of DLA Piper’s Life Sciences Patent Development & Strategy group and a trusted advisor to pharmaceutical, biotech, and technology companies. He has guided billion-dollar investments, extended patent exclusivity for portfolios valued at more than half a billion dollars, and built trade-secret programs strong enough to defeat high-stakes misappropriation claims.
Each episode shows how intellectual capital—ideas, discoveries, and breakthroughs—can be transformed into intellectual property (IP) that protects, powers, and propels businesses forward. Ray’s work includes crafting regulatory exclusivity strategies where no composition-of-matter patents exist, securing freedom-to-operate for product launches, and navigating the International Trade Commission in complex infringement disputes—all experiences that bring a sharp, real-world perspective to every conversation.
With a focus on life sciences, biotech, technology, and AI, the show delivers insights on patents, trade secrets, licensing, litigation, and strategy. Featuring thought leaders, investors, and innovators, the R² IP Podcast offers both practical guidance and strategic vision to entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals navigating today’s fast-moving innovation economy.
