I just heard back from Kristina Gomez:

"As a Patent and Trademark Resource Center we provide free patent and
trademark information to the public and seek opportunities to connect
with local inventors. Speaking at the ‘Space fits with the PTRC
program goals and we’re happy to share our resources at absolutely no
cost.

Thursday, June 7th at 7 p.m. would work best on my end. The program I
generally present is Patent Searching 101, which defines types of
patents, goes through the 7 step patent search process and highlights
changes to the patent system with the enactment of America Invents. I
can also discuss international patents if you think attendees would
have an interest.

The talk usually takes 45-50 minutes, but please let me know if you
need it shorter/longer. Also, would you happen to have an estimate on
the number of attendees (for folders, handouts ,etc.)?"

So there we have it.

Please RSVP to this post if you can make it and also mention if you're
interested in the international patents angle.

I'll be there.  Since this is during a public time, would it be okay if I mentioned it at my work?

I believe Thursday night at 7pm is "Buider's Night Out" and we are open to anyone...

So yeah, invite your friends, family, and coworkers!

Yes, just be advised that she needs a total headcount for handouts and
such.

Would she be open to having it taped (I'll be out of state) or maybe highlights or something to use for Makerspace promotion?

It could also be taped for use at the Milwaukee Public Library.  If it works out well, and MPL likes the way it looks, maybe it could be the start of a nice collaboration between the library and the makerspace.  They've got lots of other classes, and we can make stuff.

Just saying,

Matt

personally....

So far, only 6 or so.

Somehow, I expect several last minute people to show up, having
forgotten what RSVP means. :)

Bummer that this is scheduled for today, the same day at Tom's pitch at Turner hall.

Will this happen tonight, or is there a chance for a repeat visit in the future?

Hopefully, I will be there.  The auto is at the shop and It may not return in time.
I have tried to rein in it's shopping sprees but it still goes out and gets new stuff.
Matching brake lines this time and I am sure it will be in some ungodly plaid.

It was suggested, but I don't know if anyone's set that up.

Looks like the car is still on it's shopping spree.  Candy striped rocker arms and it is spending the night with friends.
So I shall not be there.
