Come to the Main Library on Wednesday, October 28 at 6:30 to learn about the process of patenting an idea. This free workshop will be  led by Ran Raider, Patent and Trademark Specialist at Wright State University. Joining him will be Jeff Hunter, local inventor and business  consultant; and James Beyer, former patent examiner.    

If you have an idea you might like to patent, or if you are just curious about the process, you will enjoy this evening at the library.

You will learn about famous and not-so-famous inventors from Dayton.   You will find out how to determine if an invention is unique, and how to seek a patent. Learn about the Patent & Trademark Depository Library and how to use it.   Featured guests who have successfully patented their ideas will share their experiences and answer questions.   Please register for this free program by calling 463-BOOK.
