Orono, ME

University of Maine
Submitted by: John Hutchinson

  • I gave some well-attended remote presentations in conjunction with SCORE, a business mentoring organization which is a resource partner with the Small Business Administration.
  • I also gave a presentation at the Maine Library Association annual meeting about patents and patent searching. This summer, I will be giving a presentation at the annual meeting about the new Trademark search system.
  • Here in the library, I did a fun display of summer-related patents with an accompanying video slideshow that we uploaded to YouTube. https://youtu.be/UddbXgOk_CY
  • I followed that up with a display on Maine Inventor Percy Spencer who, more than any other single person, was responsible for the invention of the microwave oven!

  • A display of patents related to gambling to accompany a casino event.
  • Ironically, I can’t stay for the whole training seminar because I have to get back to Maine to give two Patent &Trademark presentations on Friday the 12th!
