SHARKTANK TV Show
The "Shark Tank" TV show on ABC Friday evenings at 7 PM is an interesting and entertaining reality show about entrepreneurs and inventors
pitching and selling their innovative ideas to wealthy investors (the sharks) and trying to convince them to invest their money.
It is interesting to watch the negotiations between the entrepreneurs and investors. Their casting department is looking for participants.
Read the agreement carefully, it is a non-confidential disclosure, so if you have a product, it is best to have a patent pending situation.

HIA Featured In Patent Office Publication
The HIA was recently featured in an article titled "Houston Inventors Association Helps Members Bring Inventions to Reality",

The article was published online in the "Inventors Eye" -a bi-monthly newsletter for the independent inventor community that covers topics of interest
to independent inventors; and stories about people who have become successful inventors. It also includes tips on working with the USPTO; information on events, organizations and meetings of interest to the inventor community.
