Our member, Mark Stadnyk, is in the process of sueing the US government regarding the constitutionality of the America Invents Act and its "First to File" clause. The Constitution states, "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Notice it states the "Inventors" not the first one to file some paperwork. To see an article in the New York Times on this go to http:/... Continue reading ...

Under the "America Invents Act" (AIA), the United States is changing from a "first to invent" patent system to a "first inventor to file" patent system. This change in filing will take effect in March 2013, requiring both inventors and businesses to reconsider their patent strategies. But what does this really mean to you and your invention?
Join nationally known patent attorney Bao Tran and executive director of the UIA Mark Reyland for an Hour-long webinar full of insights into what you sh... Continue reading ...

Communication skills are essential for any successful project. I felt that this material would be useful for members in their efforts to secure funding for their projects. While digging the links up, it occurred to me that it should be a resource on the Inventor's Council site. The ecorner.sanford.com has a lot of useful information.The first link is to Guy's presentation at Stanford, it is the better presentation. A SlideRocket version of the presentation as given as SXSW is also provided w... Continue reading ...

I believe that your email regarding the Edison Nation project is missing an important piece of information. They are not just seeking a "licensing agreement" with inventors. If you read the fine print you will discover that by submitting a product idea you are completely giving up the rights to your invention (Exhibit A, section 1A). That is far beyond a licensing agreement. I don't have a problem with granting an exclusive license to Edison Nation, but I certainly have a problem with handing... Continue reading ...
