On Wednesday, June 7th, the latest NW Innovation Resource Center's Inventor Insight series continues. This month's topic will focus on sales and marketing tips for building new markets.
Don Keller, Founder of Kel-lite—makers of the first aluminum flashlight and other professional flashlights including Mag-lite, will share his story of invention and entrepreneurship.
One of the most common questions from inventors is "How do I protect my idea?" This is a great question and one that we are happy to help answer for you. On August 3, the Slingshot's partner, the Northwest Innovation Resource Center (NWIRC), will be presenting a talk about how to protect your idea with a patent and your rights when you license it to a third party such as Slingshot.
Michael Schacht of the Bellingham based legal firm Schacht Law Office, will explain the basics of patents and licensing. Learn more about the different types of patents from provisional to design and utility. He will also discuss what you need to know and understand about the legal side of licensing your intellectual property to others.
