Check Out The Patents & Prototypes Live Show Recap

Entrepreneurs learn from Entrepreneurs and this is the reason Joe Donoghue of Leardon Solutions contributes to incubators, mentoring sessions and web live shows.

Joe co-hosts the live monthly web show Patents & Prototypes and this month the live show featured two great entrepreneurs and their inventions.

Steve Hartman invented the Cyclemower. It has been a long journey for Steve but the end product has shown a lot of promise when it comes to accurate grass cutting and green house gas emissions reduction.

The second guest was Jay Barbeau. Jay invented the Sonitar Guitar ( you can see his prototype in the video below. ) See a demo of the Sonitar here.

Both entrepreneurs answered questions from Joe who is a product development specialist and Eric Hanscom, an IP attorney from Carlsbad, California.

Leardon’s CEO co-hosts first live show “Patents and Prototypes”

May 3 2012  |   Cliff  |  All Posts, Patents and Prototypes  |  Comment

Tuesday was a fun night! It was the first night that the Leardon team was able to lend their product development expertise to not only some San Diego local entrepreneurs but also inventors and startups across the country via a live interactive web video platform. We even had a few really good questions from a student at Cal Poly who attended the live show.

The show focuses on the patent process and prototype process of new product creation. We hope this once a month show brings value in terms of education and entertainment to that process and those wanting to pursue their dreams and build products that are innovative.

Below is a replay of the show. You can also find out more here

May 1 2012  |   Cliff  |  All Posts, News, Patents and Prototypes  |  2 Comments

patents, prototypes, leardon solutions, intercontinental IP, Joseph donoghue, eric hanscom, live showWe have been very busy here at Leardon Solutions helping Entrepreneurs and businesses with their ideas and products. It seems the busier we get, the more inspired we are to reach out and touch the community in new ways. Social media has been a great way to keep in contact with entrepreneurs, inventors and businesses. However, tonight marks the start of a new community outreach program that Leardon Solutions will be part of.

Starting at 6:30pm/pst our very own Joe Donoghue co-hosts a monthly live web show just for entrepreneurs, inventors and businesses owners. The show is all about the product development and patent process. We’re very excited because it’s our way of reaching out and speaking with a community that we don’t often get to see face to face outside of our own geographic areas. It gives us the opportunity to answer questions in real time and an offers an opportunity for the community to interact with each other via chat and webcam.

We hope that you can make it. Here is a link to the show schedule and a link to the live show that starts at 6:30pm/pst. Just login as a guest using your real name so that we know who you are and bring those patent and prototype questions!

Thanks and hope to see you there!
