Non-Profit Inventiv.org to Provide Free Patent Filing Tools to Inventors

Leave a reply

By Abigail Baldwin × Vaughn Lowery

Obtaining a patent is a long process. Inventors have to file complex legal documents which can get very expensive. A patent is a license from the US government and gives you exclusive rights to an invention. It grants the inventor the power to eliminate others from creating, using, or making money from an invention. They are difficult to obtain by yourself. You need a patent attorney which is costly. Any mistake can set you back months or years, but fame and wealth follow those who invent and leverage the patent system.

For many small businesses and entrepreneurs, obtaining a patent can be an uphill battle. Not having access to tools, lawyers and information can leave the inventor in the dark. Inaction can be fatal to inventors in our current first-to-file regime, which is a race to file the patent application as fast as possible. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has streamlined services and their website for easy navigation. Still, it can be extremely difficult to understand the legal jargon and their patent search engine can appear dated. Subsequently, the USPTO has established an Inventor Assistance platform which can aid an inventor. Still, the road to a patent can be long and windy for the uninitiated.

Nonprofits like Inventiv.org offer gratis software, tips on how to properly file, as well as how to protect your inventions. All the aforementioned are conducive for cutting-edge startups and entrepreneurs who are in dire need of resources to get their invention in the marketplace before it’s patented by someone else. With access to volunteers and law firms such as http://www.tranassoc.com and htpp://www.patentoffice.io and the free software at Inventiv.org, the cost of filing patents becomes more easily manageable, democratizing the intellectual property system for all.

“I used an early version of the free provisional filing software from inventiv.org to create my draft application and filed it to get an early priority date for my start-up JobTree, a mobile recruiting platform focusing on new grads by providing better match between students and employers. Afterward, I looked for legal help in converting the provisional application to a utility application and the Patent Office. The patent law firm of www.patentoffice.io has been instrumental in working with our startup to provide a complete patent and trademark protection strategy. The process is simple and cost-effective compared to the traditional process of handing everything to a patent lawyer.” says John Huynh, a beta user of Inventiv.org. Mary Kimani, another beta user and a product manager at www.Plant-Grow.com noted that “The early version software I tested from www.Inventiv.org helped our company file 3 provisional patent applications which protect our innovation for a year until the utility conversion. The whole process is easy and the software was free. I recommend it.”

About Inventiv.org

Inventiv.org uses a unique software that integrates patent search engines and guides you through each section of the application process. Inventiv.org also has educational resources that will stay with you forever. The software for patent application drafting will be available later this month and it’s completely free to use.

About Patent Law Office

PatentOffice.io is a patent law firm that specializes in patent filing and prosecution and is an active contributor to Inventiv.org. The firm says “We are glad to support innovative start-ups and individuals and to make the patent system available to everyone.”

About Tran & Associates

Tran & Associates (www.tranassoc.com) is a boutique law firm that specializes in helping companies navigate through the maze of the patenting process. “We laud the work of Inventiv.org in helping individuals who invent to benefit from our great patent system.”

Texas Cinnamon Shore Reopens

Cinnamon Shore Reopens, Welcomes Families Eager to Return to the Texas Coast

New protocols and procedures promote social distancing and create a haven for family fun after weeks of isolation.

Cinnamon Shore is now open to the public and for short-term vacation rentals, in line with the decision of the Port Aransas Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Board to open the city for fun on May 1, 2020. As families eager to escape isolation head for wide open spaces like the broad beaches of Mustang Island, they will find a safe haven at Cinnamon Shore.

“We’re thrilled to welcome guests back to Cinnamon Shore, with the right changes in place to ensure everyone has a great time and remains socially distant in our little beachside town,” says Jeff Lamkin, CEO of Sea Oats Group, developer of Cinnamon Shore. The community is following the Texas governor’s executive order for reopening Texas. Under current guidelines, the development’s Dune Pool, Kiera’s Pool and Stillwater Pool remain closed, but when the governor’s order allows public pool usage in a later phase, Cinnamon Shore will have stringent sanitizing procedures and social distancing measures in place. On-site restaurants Lisabella’s Bistro and Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria are now open for to-go orders, and they’re offering special Mother’s Day menus on Sun., May 10.

Other new measures to ensure the safety of homeowners, guests, and employees include:

In-car check-in/check-out procedures, with concierge service so guests never have to enter the vacation rental office.
More frequent sanitizing of public areas, including elevators and stairwell railings, outdoor seating, and play areas.
Signage around the property to remind guests of social distancing.
Guest room cleaning with industry-leading sanitizing protocols, including attention to high-touch items such as remote controls, light switches, and the like.
Discontinuation of indoor social activities, as well as select outdoor activities.

For a complete look at the procedures and processes that Cinnamon Shore is establishing during this phase, see “We’re Reopening! Welcome Back.”

Meeting pent-up demand

Many Cinnamon Shore homeowners weathered the stay-at-home orders inside the village, enjoying spacious living quarters, walking the wide-open beach, and enjoying life beside the scenic lakes, dunes, and parks. Now, Lamkin says, pent-up demand for easy-to-drive-to vacation destinations will cause families to reserve vacation rental spots quickly for the rest of May and the peak summer season. “People are looking for alternatives to air travel for vacation time with family, and they’re looking closer to home,” he says.

With a full roster of family-friendly activities for Mother’s Day Weekend, Memorial Day, and into the summer, Cinnamon Shore is ready for more families to discover its charms. “We’ll see first-time guests and lots of longtime fans,” says Lamkin. “We can’t wait to welcome everyone heres.”

Cinnamon Shore is a New Urbanist community established in 2007. The master-planned community is known for its pedestrian-friendly streets, front porch living, and resort-like amenities. Its expansion, Cinnamon Shore South, is in the early phase of development nearby on the Gulf side of Mustang Island.

Macy Kate – Debut Track

Leave a reply

This summer just got brighter with Macy Kate’s full EP release on all digital streaming platforms including her TikTok viral debut track, Cry For Help, Can’t Get Over Us that was featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist, L.O.V.E. that took lyric videos to a personal, creative place and her epic quarantine, self-made music video for her stripped down, emotionally driven ballad, Real Thing.

The focus track for the EP is the close out with So Fire. This track has that smooth bop beat and soulful feel-good vibes from Macy’s undeniable, enchanting vocals. One of the most up-beat songs on the EP, So Fire radiates fun and femininity as Macy Kate gushes about an exciting night out with a new flame. Her confident personality and willingness to take risks shines through in lyrics, “It’s that chemistry, feel that energy; I’m not afraid of dancing in with the devil.” Get ready to grab your girls because any function with this track in the playing will be sure to be So Fire.

Macy Kate: “‘So Fire’ is all about forgetting about your worries and just living your best life. I wrote it about a time I went to New York City with three of my best friends and had the best night I’ve ever had in my life. It was just an ongoing night that never ended. I will never forget it. It was pure bliss and joy of just being together and forgetting about our worries in life and focusing on each other and what’s important. ‘Good Time’ was about a situation I was going through with a guy I was dating. We were at a party and all he wanted to talk about was our relationship and I was just not in the mood. We were at this dope house party in LA and I just could not be bothered LOL. This song is all about having a good time and letting go of all problems. Not letting anything ruin the present moment. Knowing there’s a time and place for everything. ‘What They Say’ is about the strength of a relationship. Something that everyone wants. Stability, strength, and trust. Knowing someone is down for you at all times. No matter what they say.”

Each song on the EP tells a different part of a story and it evolves as you go through eac song, bringing an elevated level of storytelling. Macy Kate is a strong, empowering example for the younger female generation as an artist and a young female who pursues her dreams through hard work, depth, authenticity and serious devotion.

Macy Kate: “So many talented people featured on the EP. Brittany B wrote on ‘Good Time’ with me. She’s absolutely incredible and so talented. Tommy Brown produced ‘So Fire’ who is unbelievably talented yet so humble. Harmony Samuels produced ‘Good Time’ who also is pure talent. Honored to have them be apart of the ‘Cry For Help’ EP.”

Macy Kate was discovered by Flo Rida and toured with him as the lead female vocalist on tour for his legendary tracks My House and Wild Ones. She has had premieres on her music releases with MTV, Billboard, Bello Magazine, PureWoW, and Digital Journal, to name a few. She sky-rocketed with YouTube success when she began creating video content of cover songs and gained a large following and audience.

Macy made her TV debut on the first season of ABC’s Rising Star. She has over 1.1 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, which has garnered over 100 millions of views to date. She has over 300k followers on TikTok and 193k followers on her Instagram, with a very loyal and engaging fan base throughout all platforms.

Her previous song Can’t Get Over Us was included in Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist. To date, on Spotify, she has over 4 million streams from her debut single Cry for Help, plus 2.5 million streams from 2019, and over 1 million streams on Apple Music. Macy Kate also went viral on TikTok with the song Cry For Help racking up 775k views in one day. She is signed to EMPIRE/Tribeca Music and will be releasing new music throughout 2020.

What Can You Use a Loan For, Anyway?

Leave a reply

Loans are something that a lot of people are looking at and considering nowadays. There are so many ways to work with them and, on top of that, they are available for so many things. But, what can you use a loan for, anyway? Are there certain things that you need to adhere to?

Finding the right loan for your situation is paramount, but only after you know what it is that you need it for. Here are some of the most common uses you’ll find for loans of all types.

Emergency Situations

Emergencies happen, and there are a lot of things that can come alongside of them. Money is often involved in those situations, and it can be difficult to get the money that you need in order to ensure that you are taken care of. That being said, how can you know that you can actually get money? Emergency loans are one of the top ways to sort this out.

If bad credit is an issue, companies like LetMeBank can also work with you to help you find emergency loans that you can get with poor credit. You can talk to experts and see what they have to say, and many times, they can give you a pretty solid idea of what it is that you can do and how you can proceed with your plans.

Home Repairs and Upgrades

Home repairs and upgrades are really common reasons that someone may want to go ahead and get a loan. Many times, you may be looking at a lot of different things that you can get your hands on; home improvement loans can make it easier to pay for home repairs. It’s a lot better to get a loan for home repairs and upgrades than paying out of pocket, even if you have it available. Home repairs and upgrades often end up costing more than what you’re expecting them to. So, getting a loan means that you can cover everything and, if something unexpected comes up, then you can tap into the money you have saved. It can also help your credit score if you do it right.

Educational Opportunities

Want to take a class or workshop, and expand your learning so that you can get ahead in your career? Maybe you’re looking for options that can help you to get the results that you deserve for your work environment? No matter what sort of educational opportunity you may be pursuing, there is likely some way for you to get money in order to get it done.
Some banks can help you to find educational opportunities that make sense in your context and allow you to work it out in a way that helps you to get ahead. On top of that, they may have special loans with low interest payments that are meant especially for you and the goals that you have. You just need to let them know what it is that you’re going to be paying for with it.

Getting a New Vehicle

While some people have the ability to go ahead and pay for a car with cash, most ordinary people are going to need some more help to make things happen. Car loans are some of the most common loans that people end up taking out, mainly because of just how much those end up costing.
Even people shopping for used vehicles may need to check out car loans. They come in all sizes and, in many cases, you can get preapproved for a car loan.

Consolidating Debt

If you have a lot of debt, then you may be looking at the options you have for consolidating everything. The fact of the matter is, there are a lot of different loans that can help you to look at your debt and work out the details around it. Loans are a great option because they often have lower rates than your other debt does. And, on top of that, you may find it easier to pay your monthly payments.
Knowing whether or not you need a loan is the first step in determining if a loan is right for you. But, you’ll also have a much easier time making decisions if you have some sort of idea around what it is that you want to try and accomplish. See what you can find, learn as much as possible, and know that you can get a loan that works for whatever it is that you may need.

5 Most Recommend Ways to Brighten Your Smile

Leave a reply

Whiten with chemicals? There are any number of at-home teeth whitening systems. These often involve very strong chemicals and adverse side effects like increased sensitivity in the teeth and inflammation in the gums. Unfortunately, the same side effects can be caused by professional whitening treatments your dentist might use.

The five best ways to get your teeth as white and bright as they can be, without the use of harsh chemicals, starts with simple, consistent dental hygiene.

1) This is the boring stuff

Brush your teeth gently and thoroughly for at least five minutes twice a day, floss once a day, and see your dentist twice a year for a professional cleaning. The dentist’s cleaning will remove the tartar and buildup that can become discoloration and staining over time. Your dentist can also advise you about any other whitening methods you might want to try.

2) Start your mornings off right!

Drink hot tea made from ginger and lemon. Ginger helps kill bacteria in the mouth, and the acidity of the lemon will begin to break down stains, especially if used daily over time.

3) Whiten with COCO Lab!

Fortunately, for those who want the best at-home teeth whitening, with none of the sensitivity, Coco Lab has developed a unique line of products. The active ingredients include activated charcoal made from coconuts, with fair and responsible coconut cultivation practices in the supply chain.

Coco Lab teeth whitening products also use soothing aloe vera for happy gums, and grapefruit oil to strengthen the tooth enamel. Peppermint kills bacteria and keeps breath fresh as you whiten. These are not just teeth whitening products, they are a step up for all of your dental health and hygiene needs. The whitening kits come with a six-day supply of whitening gel, and a gel-activated, battery powered LED light mouth tray that ensures it only takes 10 minutes a day to achieve your brightest smile.

4) Snack healthy!

Crunchy, raw fruits and veggies like celery, radishes, carrots, strawberries, and apples are best eaten whole. They are more nutritious in their whole form, and the action of biting and chewing these foods takes advantage of their texture and enzymes to polish and strengthen teeth. Keeping a healthy lifestyle this season is also very important to prevent coronavirus.

5) Rinse!

Most people are not going to be giving up coffee or red wine. If you love these, or other dark colored, staining foods and drinks, rinse with water or mouthwash after you finish. You’ll get extra whitening power if your mouthwash contains hydrogen peroxide. You can even use plain hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash.

Finally, if you’re looking for deeper stain removal and more dramatic whitening, first check with your dentist about the overall health of your teeth. Most teeth whitening products are best for healthy teeth with healthy gums and no fillings. If you have had dental restoration work with tooth-colored fillings or crowns, you also might not get the safest or best results from commercial teeth whitening.

Coco Lab offers powerful, natural teeth whitening in only 10 minutes a day, without causing sensitivity. It’s a step up for your daily dental health routine!
