Success Stories

  • 11/13/2009
  • 7:00 PM
  • Science Lecture Hall 101 at Orange Coast College, 2701 Fairview Rd., Costa Mesa

 

This is one of our most exciting seminars of the year.  You'll get to hear the secrets of 6 successful inventors.  Each speaker will give a short five to ten minute overview of their invention, how they developed it, what type of help they needed, and the secrets they used to break through into the marketplace with a successful product.  The best part?  You get to ask them questions and network with them after the seminar.

    Ed's company designs innovated wind power systems.

    George co-found this technology startup based on an invention for a multiprocessor personal computer.  Eventually, with customers including HP, Compaq, NEC, and Hitachi, he sold the company to Intel.  It was a success, but could patents have made it a greater success?
