Register on Zoom to Receive the Meeting Code (a new code for 2025)
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.

Turn Up the Heat: Master Your Stir-Fry with the WokMon
Glen Lee
Are you tired of lackluster stir-fries and craving that elusive “Wok Hei”—the coveted flavor found in authentic Chinese cooking? Join us for a thrilling presentation from inventor, actor, and industry veteran Glen Lee, who will reveal how his newest product, the WokMon, can supercharge your gas stove and transform your culinary creations. Beyond the product’s sizzle, Glen will delve into the mindset that drove him to invent—from the power of persistence and daydreaming to embracing failures along the way.
Drawing from his eclectic background—which spans law school, aerospace work at Lockheed and Northrop, and a stint as an “accidental actor”—Glen is no stranger to juggling multiple endeavors. He secured his first patent with a bicycle chain cleaning device that caught the eye of Giant Bicycle, followed by the creation of EZ-Sticks, “The Original Mechanical Chopsticks,” found in Bloomingdale’s housewares and restaurants like Benihana. Today, with three U.S. patents under his belt and membership in organizations like Invent Smart and National Inventor Club, Glen understands firsthand how to nurture an idea from scribbles on paper to a product on shelves.
During this lively Zoom session, Glen will share valuable lessons for budding inventors: how to balance creativity with due diligence, the importance of turning “failure” into a teacher, and why chasing your daydreams can lead to innovative breakthroughs. Expect an engaging conversation that highlights the realities of inventing and the thrill of seeing your product come to life.
Don’t miss this chance to unlock your stove’s true potential!
