November 2011 Meeting

This month we saw a nice mix of Inventors Club veterans and new folks.

We caught Mike Forkert in mid-smile and mid-pizza.

A lot of the discussion today revolved around why companies should (or should not) monetarily reward employees who invent valuable or money-saving solutions, regardless of whether they have employment agreements in place that state the employer already owns the idea.  It is a company culture thing – some companies find it important to create more incentive for invention with reward systems, while others don’t.

We at the Inventors Club reward our attendees with pizza.  By the way, big thanks again to Pizza Hut for donating the pizza!

October 2011 Meeting

Three new folks came to the meeting today, representing 2 new inventions!

  

One person has invented a new iPhone / iPad app.  Another couple has created an unique accessory for musical instruments.  Very cool!

Mike Forkert, Dave Gross and I had a great talk with them about protecting IP and entrepreneurship using the Lean Startup “get-in-the-market” technique.  The most interesting thing was that we were able to direct all three people to some resources to carry their projects forward – coders, manufacturers, etc.

Come visit us next month and maybe we can help you out as well!
