-- At our meetings, guest speakers, members, and patent attorneys offer free advice. They will help you by presenting facts needed by you to make your invention a rewarding reality. You will feel comfortable being among your trusting friends and will find the support and information that is surely needed. We will help you to bring your inventive ideas into reality..honestly.

-- Our mission statement is to help educate future generations of innovators. This includes how to invent, think for yourself, maintain control of your inventive efforts and fend off those who will rip you off..

-- Our IASL Website, for one, is the beginning and end-all for creative Intellectual Property information. It is a thousand piece jigsaw puzzle. Each fact was inserted with determined correct fit, which came from literally dozens of 'invention resources' that came from Internet networking.

-- The reader may say that it is a Blog, which it is. It wasn't created as a verbose multi-tasked inventors' encyclopedia, but is set simply as a travel novel: You will find many fine examples/places/items of interest and then, areas that won't interest or excite you in the least, and will move on.

-- If all that you may want from us at this time is to recommend three books that would be considered the top three for researching intellectual property, then read in order:
- "Will It Sell?" by James E. White,
- "Patent It Yourself, Thirteenth Edition" by David Pressman,
- "Marketing Your Invention, 2nd Edition" by Thomas E. Mosley, Jr. - [Marketing Your Invention is out of print but really worth reading at your library.]

Let's start from the beginning: --

Inventor: Daniel Keegan
Subject Matter: A device that can improve engine efficiency (mileage, horsepower, torque curve, reduced emissions) on a stock/factory engine without any mechanical or electrical modification.
Application: Automotive
***************************************************************
-- OUR GUEST SPEAKER FOR JULY 16, 2009 WILL BE BETTY ROZIER.
-- Betty is noted for the co-invention of the I.V.HOUSE: "The I.V. House Intravenous Site Protector is a latex-free, fully ventilated guard that protects IV sites from mechanical manipulation and reduces the incidence and cost of restarting IVs." ***************************************************************
***************************************************************
I have it on good authority that our August Guest Speaker will be Patent Attorney, Bruce Burdick.

{tongue-in-cheek bio}
From far and wide, clients fly in to meet only him. He just accepts the Speaking Engagements which are offering him countless riches.. I know far a fact that he has turned down offers for $15-million from overseas.

I have tortured him into submission, and for only me (with my loyal IASL Associates as witnesses) will he submit to one full hour of interrogation and confession (before a live audience).

See this man squirm as you send pointed barbs into his body. He'll reveal Trade Secrets that have been undercover on-High by the U.S. Government, heard when trying to flee this country at a heretofore-undisclosed U.S. Major Airport [Lambert]. Bruce has probed and now will reveal; it will pain him to confess. He knows that "Lying will help him naught."

(Shhh, I already have said too much.) Come to our August IASL Meeting while our Speaker lies hidden, drugged and guarded in a Federally Funded secure Safe-house
***************************************************************
-- -->> About our IASL Guest Speakers:
-- Years ago, I would spend many tiring hours typing and printing-up The Big Idea Newsletter, which was mailed to all the IASL Membership, a large mailing of 500 to 700 people.
-- With the convenience of the Internet, I now, in a fraction of the time and cost, make the Monthly Announcements inviting everyone to come.. you included ;-)

- The Speakers that I attract for all of us to hear, travel many miles and expect large appreciative/inquiring audiences to be listening to them. - I know you do understand this and won't disappoint our speaker. I'll be looking for you.
-- Please be there on July 16th, 2009 at 6:00 pm.

-- And keep attending each month.. Hey, look - I don't get paid for this. My gratification has been in helping you. - Robert Scheinkman

P.S. - Please remember your yearly dues may be now due.

"DON'T GIVE UP" - This should be the motto of all creative Inventors.

-- -- PREVIOUS IASL GUEST SPEAKERS:

-- Inasmuch as the IASL presents a benefit to the community at large and wishes everybody to gain from the possible knowledge of having correct invention procedure, we invite all "Idea People" to freely attend their first meeting.

-- You will find it worthwhile to contribute to our present and future projects by offering your remittance donation of $5.00. - It takes planning and money to run a quality organization. - Ours is different from other charitable organizations, for you-yourself will become the recipient of your own charitable donation. And it's Tax Deductible.

PATENT LAWYERS & AGENTS: Intellectual Property Practitioners

-- You are welcomed to come to our monthly IASL Meetings, but please leave small children and babies at home. Thank you. -
-- You've done enough inventing for one night, romantically creating your best invention.
-- Leave your design & prototype at home. ;-)

-- Arrive here prepared to go back home; being stimulated to work on your newer conception.

-- "When you have eliminated the impossible, that which remains, however improbable, must be the truth." -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

-- "Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike." -- Alexander Hamilton

-- ""To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." -- Anatole France

-- When something is repeated to you, at least three times, you tend to remember it.

-- Third party trademarks, brands and images are the property of their respective owners.

-- There are always those that want everything on a silver platter. -- Inventors, on the other hand, want everything on a golden platter.

-- It's only the beginning of the incipient challenge. You have to know today's basic invention costs. --

ON FEBUARY 14, 2006, THE U.S. REACHED 7-MILLION PATENTS

-- "When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."
-- Alexander Graham Bell

-- "The USPTO receives about 400,000 patent applications a year. The agency publishes patent applications eighteen months after they're filed. It takes about thirty-one months on average to get a patent." Learn how this waiting time may be used to your advantage.

-- Glossophobics need not apply.

-- Think about this: -- In your mind's eye a light flickers on/off; -- turn on this light -- -->

-- Aha! Another brilliant idea. -- Now for the reality check. Ask yourself this: --
"Am I about to re-invent the wheel?"
-- You just better do your research... "Why," you ask?
-- "Because I have seen on tv that Cavemen are still around. They may have thought of your idea eons ago, so, do your research, find them and communicate."

-- Go to the IASL TOPIC INDEX. --
-- Do the developmental research and modification.

-- "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." -- Walt Disney

-- To gain a quick overview, go to: --> "Glossary of patent terms" at Delphion.com @ --> Delphion Glossary

-- "Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind." -- Samuel Johnson

-- Please contribute at meetings or mail-in donations to: IASL, PO Box 410111, St. Louis, MO 63141.

-- Our fifty-five dollars IASL Membership to join and thirty-five dollars renewal per year is little to ask from you. A true inventor in the years to come will no-doubt be spending hundreds and thousands of dollars persuing his and her inventive fortune. Please give a little extra to the IASL, knowing that it goes towards your own future behalf.

-- A patent attorney or two may be in the audience to respond to questions from the participants. It's FREE--No Charges for Legal Advice that will save inventors thousands of future dollars. Therefore, your altruistic donation (which is tax deductible) is greatly appreciated.

-- After our second hour's speaker, a roundtable open discussion and personal help for all our participants is conducted, when all who attend must sign a non-disclosure agreement that binds the secrecy of the group. The IASL Meeting closes at 9:00 pm. -- Often, a few of our members continue networking outside on the library parking lot. They've found a kindred spirit. :-)
