San Francisco Bay Area Inventors'
Societies and Support Groups
These
are a few links to active nonprofit inventors' societies in Central
and Northern California.
They are
great groups and invaluable resources for networking, learning from
other inventor's successes and missteps, hearing informed speakers
on very pertinent topics, and gaining tips on how to avoid being
ripped off by shady invention marketing businesses. These are all
friendly, experienced and supportive groups.
