Are there any grants or stimulus benefits of any kind for inventors to help with the cost of trademarks, trademarks or patent expenses?

Yes, so I covered in the last, I had a patent Professor webinar on April 10, and April 17, and April 24, on the different types of federal funding available for individual inventors and small businesses, small startups. I didn't cover that I was originally going to do that webinar today as well. But the latest round of funding is expected to go extremely quickly. So I don't know. I wasn't sure if funds were still going to be available today or not. Jenny is listening in on this so she can maybe post a link to we have a group on Facebook that I manage. It's called the The inventors mastermind, and I have a link with all the information that's needed for to obtain federal funding for Coronavirus relief, and there is no there's a lot of that misconceptions that that relief only applies to larger companies or people with payroll because there's a law known as the paycheck protection program. However, if you're self employed, or you have even you're an independent contractor, you have a 1099 you can still be eligible for the paycheck Protection Program funds. So the replays are going to be there on the inventors mastermind, which is my private Facebook group, there's no cost to to participate. There's a lot of helpful prototype manufacturers that that that I have vetted, that give advice. There's a lot of, of course inventors that are experienced, seasoned inventors that are mentoring others that are not as far along that concept of the mastermind is a concept that originally was in a Napoleon Hills famous book, I think and grow rich. So I've taken that concept and I've applied it specifically for inventors. Because the beauty today and it's never been available in the in the past is that you could have almost an instant mastermind of help. Like if you're an inventor and you need to get some guidance on prototyping, or 3d printing. You go to the inventors mastermind on on our Facebook group and that's the search terms inventors mastermind, you type in your question you should have within a couple hours several experienced inventors that provide guidance and I'm I'm I spend several hours on the inventors mastermind addressing questions as well. Which I do want to say like I have a I have a hard cut off at exactly. I'll probably stop at about two minutes before one because I have a conference call at one o'clock. But any questions that are not answered here. They can you know, if you type them into the chat box, we are going to go through them and try to help get back to everyone. Or if you go to the inventors mastermind, ask your questions there. I might not be able to get to it today but perhaps over the weekend or Monday, I'll make sure I address any questions that that come in to the inventors mastermind if we can't get to them all today and this would be the even though next week's topic is understanding provisional patents versus non provisional patents. I am going to have a q&a at the end. And I'm not going to require the cute questions be limited to just those types of patents. So any questions you can't get answered today. If you don't want to go to the invent inventors mastermind and type them in. We will have asked the patent Professor segment next Friday same time. From noon to one o'clock. I forgot again Giovanni's it may 7 or eighth May 8 May 8 Friday May 8, same place
