"WHO'D A THUNK IT? - Inventing and naming your brainchild"
1pm in CAR 1125 reception to follow
Jon Roberts '70 and his wife, Jessie Roberts
Jon and Jessie Roberts will discuss the process of coming up with a product name and how Jon (and others) came up with inventions. They will also discuss REALLY BAD names and EQUALLY REALLY BAD inventions. The lecture focus is not "how to file applications" but rather the qualitative aspects of naming things (for trademark purposes) and identifying a problem and going about solving it (for patent purposes).
