August General Meeting

My fellow product developers (Inventors)

We will be having movie night for our next encounter at our 8-8-2013 general meeting. The film we will be watching will be a great refresher film for many and a great film for those new to the subject of invention.

This meeting will only be half priced because there is no live or Skype speaker. If any one wants to bring popcorn, be my guest.

Randy Landreneau made a film titled invention 101 which we will be showing. Many of his methods are simple and to the point when it comes to:

• Avoiding Scams
• His System of- Create/ Protect/ Profit
• Patent Searches
• Different Types Of Patents
• Intellectual Property 
• Provisional Patents
• Patenting
• Licensing
• Manufacturing

This film is has the patent data before the recent patent reform and there will be a discussion about the new patent laws after the film.
