The School of Invention™, Vovation.com™ and Fruition Technology Labs™ will host this Free Lean Invention™ Meetup to help independent inventors learn to launch their ideas into the marketplace. The Lean Invention method provides inventors with tools to write and file their own provisional patents, collaborate with others, create prototypes and introduce their products into the marketplace via crowd funding, efficiently and inexpensively. It is a key step in the startup process, preparing inventors to set up a lean intellectual property strategy before you create your startup.

At the event, inventors from every background and expertise will learn how to use Lean Invention to create a lean intellectual IP strategy. Turning ideas into action is cheaper and easier than ever before. Get assistance from local entrepreneurs to help with marketing, branding and business strategy.
