A unique, first-of-its kind program to help low-income inventors in the Denver region pursue patents was announced Wednesday in Denver by David Kappos, director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Colorado Bar Association, the Mi Casa Resource Center and the U.S. Patent Office will spearhead the program to connect low-income inventors with Colorado patent attorneys.
"It is the first time ever in the world that a group of patent attorneys have gotten together to set up a program by which inventors who have great ideas but don't have financial resources can get matched up with practicing patent attorneys," Kappos said.
