The next meeting of the Fort Wayne Inventor’s Club will be Saturday May 12 at noon at the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center, 3201 Stellhorn Road, Fort Wayne, IN.

Featured speaker:  Patent attorney Jeremy Gayed from the law firm of Barrett & McNagny LLP will explain the recent changes in patent law.

Invention profiles: As usual, we’ll also expect a few local inventors to present their inventions (or their latest progress with their inventions) to the group.  If you want to profile yours, just attend – no need to schedule in advance.

No admission or dues are required.

The April meeting featured a lot of newcomers.  Interestingly enough, it turned out that two groups that got here independently were neighbors at one time!   Small world.

The whole group was good sized, and featured a great mix of successful and brand new inventors.

One of our attendees, Sam Conte, showed a newly received patent for an innovative cover for aircraft pitot tube probes.  Congrats!

Another, Kaleb Reinhart, explained how he had invented an iPad mount and just barely started to sell it when it was acquired by a large consumer products company.  It now sits on shelves at Best Buy and Kaleb receives regular royalties.  Very cool!

And, of course, we had some pizza and some great conversations.
