1996 Round Table Dinner Photo Gallery
I would personally like to invite you to participate in the gathering
of intellectual property creators and others who are interested and concerned
about the changes in the U.S Patent System.
This forum is a great place to not only network with a wide variety of
people in the intellectual property field, but also to learn about some
of the effects of proposed changes to the patent system and what consequences
they might have on the development and commercialization of intellectual
property.

This event brings together many renowned industry leaders from many diversified
backgrounds such as: former Congresswoman Helen Bentley; Congressman Dana
Rohrabacher; Donald W. Banner, former U.S. Patent Commissioner and founder
of IPO; Stanley Mason, President of Simco Inc. who is the creator of the
granola bar, squeezable ketchup bottle, and hundreds of other inventions
and is considered the master inventor to Fortune 500 corporations; Paul
MacCready, president of Aerovironment and the father of human powered fight
whose many inventions are in the Smithsonian Institute; and Steven Michael
Shore, president of the Alliance for American Innovation (AAI) who has been
a key sponsor, featured speaker, and a strong supporter of this important
event. These are just some of the many influential people that have attended
this dinner/conference in the past.

Also, attendance has included (alphabetically): Alaska Inventors & Entrepreneurs
Association, California Invention Center, Houston Inventors Association,
Idea to Market Network, Intellectual Property Creators, Inventors Assistance
League, Inventors Awareness Group, Inventors Forum, Inventors of California,
Inventors Voice, InventNet, Little Inventor Associates, Margolin Development,
National Congress of Inventor Organizations, Nevada Inventors Association,
Ohio Inventors Association, Oklahoma Inventors Association, Small Business
Administration, Small Entity Patent Owners Association, United Inventors
Association of the United States of America, and many other organization
directors and their presidents, government dignitaries and media who recognize
the importance of the protection and development of intellectual property
and its direct link to America's economic health.
The purpose of this gathering is to provide a network and forum for the
discussion and dissemination of pertinent patent issues. Anyone in the intellectual
property industry would benefit from this dinner.
