John Calvert, administrator of the Inventors Assistance Program at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and USPTO Special Programs Advisor Mindy Bickel are here this evening to talk about new programs the office has to help independent inventors, recent activity on patent reform legislation and the upcoming Women’s Entrepreneurship Symposium this Friday, March 11.

It’s a heavy-hitting agenda that follows quickly on the heels of the Senate passing the much-debated patent reform bill or America Invents Act. John and Mindy also will be taking your questions live during the show.

Listen and chat with John and Mindy tonight at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT at www.gotinvention.com. Call host Brian Fried at 877.474.3302 or email your questions to [email protected].

Got Invention Radio, an online live radio platform for inventors and entrepreneurs, recently reached a benchmark 10,000 listeners a month.

In 2009 Brian Fried founded Got Invention Radio, which is presented by Inventors Digest Magazine.

“We’re pleased with the growth and caliber of content of the show,” said Inventors Digest editor Mike Drummond. “In an industry with too many charlatans and carnival barkers, Brian wears a dignified white hat. Got Invention Radio, like Inventors Digest, offers must-have, best-of-breed information for aspiring product developers.”

The show has attracted an impressive list of guests, including ABC’s Shark Tank co-host Kevin Harrington, A.J. Kuhbani of TeleBrands, fitness product inventor and award-winning TV personality and creator of the Spin Gym Forbes Riley, patent attorneys, licensing agents, entrepreneurs, authors and many others.

The show offers a solid resource of trustworthy information for inventors, as well as a platform for candid and sometimes controversial inventing-related topics.

“Got Invention Radio,” says Forbes Riley, “saves inventors time, money and lots of headaches.”

The show is also registered with the United Inventors Association, the nation’s premier educational nonprofit for inventors.

Past show interviews can be downloaded or listened to anytime and are available through iTunes for free.
