From becoming an Antique Metal Restorer, to a Tattoo Artist, a Healthcare Recruiter for a small recruitment  firm, performing contract work Installing and Upgrading Computer Systems for a fortune 500 company, and a decade of Patent Drafting and Illustration at my previous employer.  These experiences have imbued Adan with a varied skillset that enabled me  to successfully start and grow my own Patent Drafting company, Acme Patent Drawings.

Inventors Association of Connecticut Meeting of March 24, 2022

Last week I attended the Inventors Association of Connecticut (IACT) meeting where my friend Paul Hebert presented.  I often recommend Paul, when my clients are looking for someone to build a prototype for them, or manufacture a product, or have products manufactured in China and shipped to the US.   Paul talked about many problems and issues he and his company have run into and solved.   It was fun hearing Paul talk about products that started out as patent applications that I filed for the client.  To find out more about Paul Hebert and his services go here.  To see what Paul talked about the the IACT meeting, go here.
