CHEMICAL
A5931-2-P: Lightweight cement core board
Inventor, a self-taught builder who is currently building her own houseboat, noticed most houseboats are constructed using foam which is flammable and does not work well with resin. Invention is a lightweight sorrel cement core board that is fire-resistant, water-resistant, and formulated for marine application. Invention improves upon similar products because it is more durable with a better strength-to-weight ratio, less expensive, environmentally-friendly, user-friendly, machinable, sound-dampening, and buoyant. Invention may have additional material applications. Inventor has a working prototype.
ELECTRIC/COMPUTER
A6006-1-P: Temporal Topology Engine
Inventor's background is in field engineering for an AV company and touring with a technical metal band. He had an interest in modulation in music, especially in time. The invention involves an improvement to the generation and transformation of structural relationships within temporal data systems through a unified source and reversible projection framework for producing adaptable, cross-domain structures. The invention was originally focused on a musical composition system, but has wider application. The invention is suitable for both professional and non-professional musicians, allows exploration of the universe of musical opportunities and fundamentally changes how people interact with music. Inventor has 2 working prototypes.

Georgia PATENTS is pleased to share a new resource for under-resourced inventors:
the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) Pro Bono Program. For more information on this Program, please visit: https://www.ptabbar.org/ptab_pro_bono.php
Inventors must meet the same financial criteria as inventors to the Georgia PATENTS Program, but do not need to come through a Patents Pro Bono Program to be eligible for free legal assistance. Volunteers provide free legal assistance in preparing ex parte appeals to the PTAB. This new program is provided through the PTAB Bar Association. Given Georgia PATENTS does not ask its volunteers to assist with appeals (although they may), please refer any inventors seeking assistance with PTAB appeals to:https://ptabbar.org/information_for_inventors.php
Also, if any volunteer for the Patents Pro Bono Program would like to volunteer for the PTAB Pro Bono Program, please submit a volunteer form: https://www.ptabbar.org/ptab_pro_bono.php
