Once a month, we have a meeting with a presentation about something invention related. Sometimes it's the creative part, like how someone came up with an idea. Sometimes it's the legal parts, like protection, patents, trademark, & licensing. Manufacturing comes up a lot, and so does marketing. We always enjoy our speakers, and we always learn from them. Questions are always encouraged, and our speakers share insights you can't get anywhere else. Before the meeting, you can visit with other inventors. New faces are always welcome, and if you have questions about invention or patents or marketing or ... there are usually members who can help guide you.

John Ferrell

Join patent attorney, author, and content creator, John Ferrell for an in-depth presentation on transforming your invention from a spark of inspiration into a lucrative licensing deal.

As the founder of a Silicon Valley law firm with more than 10,000 patent applications filed, John has represented thousands of creative tech clients—including some of the world’s most valuable companies—in patenting, litigation and strategic planning. He has authored two books on patents, lectured extensively and currently runs a YouTube channel on intellectual property with over a Million followers.

John’s latest book is the Patent Pending: Inventor’s Guide to Writing and Filing Your Own Provisional Patent Application, 17th edition, released in August 2024 and available on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle.
