News for Inventors…

Links to some of the more interesting blog posts and other resources which I think inventors would find of interest…

• One of the newer blogs (to me) with awesome inventor news, tips and information is the Business Opportunities Weblog.  Definitely worth adding to your RSS aggregator.  For instance:  "Invention Contests,"  and "Join An Invention Club."
• Inventor Tutorials
  "…links to a series of Inventor tutorials created by teachers for use with students. The different levels are a rough guide as to where these could be used depending on the entry ability of the students."
• Why Smart People Have Bad Ideas
  "This summer, as an experiment, some friends and I are giving seed funding to a bunch of new startups…The deadline has now passed, and we’re sifting through 227 applications. We expected to divide them into two categories, promising and unpromising. But we quickly saw that we needed a third: promising people with unpromising ideas…"
• How to Start a Startup
  "You need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and to spend as little money as possible"
• FOIA used (by Ron Riley at invented.com) to obtain invention promotion complaints sent to the USPTO but not published…Riley then posted the complaints on his site.  Companies mentioned:  Advent Product Development (NISI), Davison & Associates, Invent Tech, Invention Submission Corporation (ISC) aka, "Invent Help", Lambert & Lambert, Millennium Marketing Group (MMG), Patent & Trademark Institute (PTI), and Society of American Inventors (SAI).  [Via Ambrogi]
