  • The highlight of the last 12 months at our PTRC was my display and guide about Hall of Fame Inventor and Maine native Milton Bradley. https://libguides.library.umaine.edu/miltonbradley
  • In May, I gave a presentation about Trademark searching at the Maine Library Association conference, which was well received.
  • I also gave two presentations about patents and trademarks through SCORE Maine.
  • For the second year, I made a Patent-related display as part of UMaine Winter Carnival. The theme this year was “S’Winter” which is a combination of summer and winter, based on an episode of the Disney cartoon series “Phineas & Ferb.” So, I put up a display of both summer and winter-related patents.
  • I gave a presentation at the public library of Camden, Maine, focusing on interesting patent trivia and famous parents. Link to a PDF of the presentation.
