The Arizona Public Patent Program is a statewide program offered by the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law IP & Entrepreneurship Clinic, with the assistance of the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).
The program is designed to help financially under-resourced
independent inventors, small businesses and startup companies obtain
free legal counsel from local patent attorneys in filing patent
applications and protecting their innovations. Local innovation
strengthens our local economy, and this program helps to ensure that
Arizona's inventors have the legal protections they need to thrive.
Invited, but not yet confirmed, are representatives from our state and
federal government, representatives from the USPTO, investors,
inventors, and leaders from the legal and startup communities.
The launch is especially geared toward inventors, patent attorneys and students of IP law.
This event is open to the public, and there is no cost to attend.
