About the United Inventors Association |
|
Written by Gene Quinn,
President of IPWatchdog, Inc.
IPWatchdog, Inc. is a proud member of the United
Inventors Association (UIA). While some may not be familiar
with the UIA, we can and do vouch for this organization. While there
are any number of groups operating to scam inventors, the UIA really
does look out for the interest of the individual inventor.
Individual inventors can find a wealth of information on the UIA
website, and can also find reliable assistance from the
various professional members, all of who have been researched by the
UIA to ensure that they are not one of the many invention scam
companies who are unfortunately operating in many locations
throughout the United States.
To the extent that inventors need additional assurance to trust the
UIA, perhaps it will be helpful to know that the President of the UIA
is Don Kelly, who spent a distinguished career as a senior executive
at the US Patent & Trademark Office. While at the USPTO he served
as senior assistant to two commissioners and directed the operation
of a variety of patent examining divisions. Don was also the founding
director of the USPTO's Office
of Independent Inventor Programs.
If you are looking for reliable information I feel confident that you
can trust the UIA.
Taken from the UIA website:
UIA is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, founded in 1990. Information and
educational materials are free and open to the public. Additional
in-depth materials and services are available to members on the
members-only sections of the site. UIA members include: national and
international inventor groups, individual inventors, entrepreneurs,
academia, commercial enterprises, service providers and non-profit companies.
The mission of the United Inventors Association (UIA) is to
coordinate individual inventors and inventor associations for the
express purpose of actively addressing their issues and challenges at
both the national (USA) and global level. As a 501(c) (3) non-profit
organization, UIA's principal focus is on providing inventor/entrepreneur
information and support, as well as serving in an advisory capacity
to public and private sector institutions.
