One-day patents boot camp

Join the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a one-day patents boot camp on August 21, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. HT at Kuha’o Business Center in Kaunakakai, Hawaii. This is an in-person, single-day workshop for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and inventors in communities with limited or no internet access, covering tools, techniques, and resources to understand the patent application process.

The event provides a scaffolded approach to understanding patents and intellectual property (IP) rights, the importance of claims in a patent application, and the various patent application requirements. It also includes:

  • How to search prior art
  • How to properly draft claims 
  • Understanding the application forms
  • How to use Patent Center to file electronically

There will be plenty of question-and-answer sessions throughout the day, plus a discussion about free resources available through the USPTO. 

This event is free, but registration is required. For registration information and questions about this event or the One-day patent and trademark boot camp series, please email Andriae M. Holt at Andriae.Holt@uspto.gov.
