USPTO Independent Inventors Conference

The 10th Annual Independent Inventors Conference, co-sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the National Inventors Hall of Fame, will be held at the new USPTO campus in Alexandria, VA, August 12-13, 2005.

Experts in the fields of invention, marketing and intellectual property protection will join senior USPTO officials covering trademarks, copyrights, utility and design patents, provisional patent applications, invention promotion firms, searching, licensing and marketing. Participants will have an opportunity for one-on-one sessions with the experts, and there will be plenty of time for inventors to network.
The two days of information-packed workshops and presentations are designed for both novice and seasoned inventors.

The registration deadline is August 1, 2005.
