Who We Are

The Inventors' Association of New England (IANE), founded on July 28, 1977, is a group of inventors having a common interest in helping each other and newcomers get their inventions moving along the right track. Expert speakers and members are available to provide guidance to inventors in the patent protection area, marketing, product development, prototyping and related topics.  Many IANE members have decades of experience in inventing matters and can provide valuable insight into the often perplexing invention process.

Access to 6 Inventor Clinics per Year

At the Inventors Clinic, inventors help each other.  New product ideas are discussed and critiqued by other member inventors under confidentiality.  Members are allotted fifteen minutes to present and discuss their invention idea.  Frequent breaks allow individual discussion.  For each presentation a separate confidentiality document is signed by all in attendance  which additionally gives ownership to the presenter of any ideas generated at the meeting or as a result of it.  Each presentation is videorecorded and made available to the presenter only.  This unique activity has been in operation since 1999.  Inventor Clinic dates for 2013 are March 13, May 15, July 10, September 11, and November 13.  All take place at a member's house in Lexington, MA, starting at 7 PM .

10 Expert Speakers each Year

Free attendance at the IANE monthly meetings usually held at M.I.T. Bldg.# 3, Room 333 at 77 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA on the second Monday of every month.  In June we have a social meeting for members and guests at another location and in August we do not meet.   Regular IANE  Meetings start at 7 PM and run to approx. 9:00 PM.   Arrive at 6:30 PM for pre-meeting networking.  Networking also continues after the regular meeting.   Please check out our past speakers to see the topics and wealth of information shared.
