Hey all,

Wednesday at 6:30pm, David French will be giving a talk on Patents (partial summary below).

This will be a good talk to attend if you think you may ever want to patent something.

David is a retired Patent and Intellectual Property Lawyer. Since he has retired now, he's willing to tell us the truth about the patent process. :)

1. Agenda

David’s talk starts at 7pm. From 6:30pm to 7pm, there will be mingling over food and drinks, kindly sponsored by Fullscript, so try to be there for 6:30pm. :)

2. Plan on attending? 

Please RSVP here to let us know so we can plan things out. 

3. Call for speakers (October and November)

We're looking for speakers/topics. If you're up for giving a talk, please feel free to either hit reply, or let us know via the Ottawa Ruby Talk Proposal form.

We hope to see you all there!

Thanks,

The Ottawa Ruby Team
