USPTO and LES-SVC Launch Virtual Series on Manufacturing for Inventors

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has partnered with the Licensing Executives Society–Silicon Valley Chapter (LES-SVC) to present a virtual series titled Successful Inventing: Manufacture. This program is designed to assist innovators in managing the earliest and most critical phases of the invention process.

The series is co-hosted by the USPTO's Western Regional Outreach Office and LES-SVC. Each session features expert speakers who discuss key topics relevant to inventors, including intellectual property protection, prototype development, licensing strategies, funding options, and more.

The next session is scheduled for Wednesday, June 10, from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time (7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time). This installment will focus specifically on manufacturing, providing participants with valuable insights into bringing inventions from concept to production.
