This information from an email sent out by librarian Judy Triplehorn-

Febuary 11 is Alaska Inventors Day

Let's celebrate it by honoring our local Alaskan inventors.

As the patent and trademark librarian at the Alaska Patent and Trademark Resource Center , Geophysical Institute, Fairbanks, I am sending you and your  Chamber of Commerce a list of the local inventors and their inventions.  This list includes all the inventors from your city from 1976 to date.  Check the telephone  book to get their phone numbers.

Suggested library activities might be held Feb. 11 or later in the month:

• Library display
• Library program with inventors as speakers
• Newspaper article about inventors and their inventions
• Radio Interviews with inventors
• Brochures on patent filing (obtain from Alaska Patent and Trademark
• Resource Center)

In Fairbanks at the Geophysical Institute, we will be having a seminar with invited speakers from the business and economic development community, Machine and Electronic Shop tours, and a Meet Fairbanks Inventors program.

We are also organizing a Fairbanks Inventors Alliance which meets monthly at an Inventors Breakfast to discuss patent and related business issues.  If your library would be interested in sponsoring a related organization, please contact me for details.

Please send any patent or trademark related questions to me at the Patent Trademark Resource Center.  If you have further questions, please contact me by phone 907-474-2636 (Tues. or Thurs.) or by email at patents@gi.alaska.edu.
