Inventors Association of Connecticut Meeting tonight!

Adam’s career path has been an unexpected journey, and unique as they come. From becoming an Antique Metal Restorer, to a Tattoo Artist, a Healthcare Recruiter for a small recruitment  firm, performing contract work Installing and Upgrading Computer Systems for a fortune 500 company, and a decade of Patent Drafting and Illustration at my previous employer.  These experiences have imbued Adan with a varied skillset that enabled me  to successfully start and grow my own Patent Drafting company, Acme Patent Drawings.

I attended the National Association of Patent Practitioners’ Annual Conference in Denver, CO

Hi Everyone.   I just got back from a three day National Association of Patent Practitioners (NAPP) conference in Denver, CO.  NAPP is the organization of choice for all patent professionals.  NAPP provides networking, education, collegial exchange, benefits, and a collective voice in the larger IP community on patent law practice, so patent practitioners can flourish and achieve the highest levels of competence and professionalism in their practice.   Patent practitioners include patent attorneys and patent agents.  Attending the presentations and talking with fellow patent attorneys helps me stay on top of the latest developements in patent law.   The NAPP conference agenda can be seen here.
