Last
month, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office released the first issue of
inventorseye.  Inventorseye is a bimonthly publication
released by the USPTO in an effort to provide the necessary resources for an
independent inventor.  The
electronic publication provides information on events, organizations, and
meetings of interest to the independent inventor community as well as issues
that pertain to independent and small entity inventors.

The
first issue of inventorseye includes information on how to avoid scams relating
to obtaining protection for an invention, tips on how to get started in the
patent protection process, and a letter from the USPTO Director, David Kappos, addressing
patent reform and its effect on the independent inventor.
