It is time to make your nominations for the HIPLA Inventor of the Year Award!

Nominations must be received on or before Monday, May 2, 2011.

NOMINATION FORM

The HIPLA Inventor of the Year Award Committee will evaluate the nominations and choose the recipients for the award. The winners will be announced after the Committee meets in May and the winners will be invited to speak at a subsequent HIPLA luncheon meeting, traditionally in June. Worthy inventors can only be recognized if our members take the time to make nominations. If you nominated someone in the past and would like to renew the nomination, please provide any appropriate updates.

You are encouraged to emphasize the commercial success or economic importance of the invention or inventions made by your nominee.

Please send your nominations (preferably in PDF form by e-mail) to:

Richard A. Schafer
Wong Cabello, Lutsch, Rutherford & Brucculeri, LLP
20333 S.H. 249, Suite 600
Houston, Texas 77070
rschafer@counselip.com

Note that the attorney who nominates the winning inventor will also receive a prize (typically of the alcoholic variety), so your efforts will not go unrewarded!

If you have any questions about the nominating and/or award process, please contact Richard Schafer at 832-446-2484. Also, if you are interested in serving on the Committee, please give him a call as well.

The Committee looks forward to receiving your nominations.
