Innovation, The Inhibitors, The Myths, & The Amazing Opportunities
Guest Speaker:
Alan Morgan Jr.
Alan Morgan Jr., the CEO and President of INNOVAUM, LLC which is a product development design firm located in Corpus Christi, Texas will discuss changes to the age-old prototyping process which is affecting the product development world as a whole and how this is generating unbelievable opportunities for inventors from all walks of life.
Alan started Innovaum with a vision that humanity has barely scratched the surface of innovation and invention believing that the vast majority of great ideas leave the world unheard and unshared. He will discuss the inhibitors to innovation, why people keep ideas to themselves and how they can overcome these hurdles. He will also go over some of the current myths concerning the product development process and how to manage expectation versus reality when dealing with these traditional lines of thought.
Innovaum strives to help inventors reach their goals by reducing the stress associated with the ambiguity of the product development cycle. They utilize innovation to produce functioning prototypes, brainstorming sessions to arrive at unique solutions, and strategic partners to ensure that the inventors receive the best information, service, and products ready to hit the market. Feel free to visit Innovaum at www.innovaum.com to see how they are steadily building the most convenient one-stop-shop approach guiding ideas to mass production and sales.

NOTE
The New Patent Law Has Problems For Inventors
Independent inventors and start-up’s depend on strong patents to defend their inventions, however recent changes to the patent law have significantly weakened inventor’s intellectual property rights to the point that they can no longer depend on their patents to protect their innovations. For information on the intellectual property problems, please see the movie, Invalidated: The Shredding Of The US Patent System. Click the below image for a trailer of the movie/documentary. You can also see the documentary on Amazon and iTunes , free with Amazon Prime subscription, or $2 otherwise.
