IANC is a not-for-profit volunteer organization of inventors, tradesmen, and entrepreneurs who aggregate and provide information to help educate inventors, entrepreneurs and interested persons in the critical areas of invention protection, marketing, and manufacturing in order to improve our economy.  We invite you to make use of any information on our site that you consider helpful and please consider becoming a member ($20.00 per fiscal year) or a sponsor (contribute knowledge, time, or a donation).

IANC has an education facility in Palo Cedro, Ca. where we hold meetings, classes and workshops to help bring the latest information to the public about conception, protection, and commercializing inventions or ideas.

We are committed to providing educational materials and resources for developing ideas from the initial intuitive concept to the end marketing of a mature product. To this end individuals may participate regardless of education, age or experience, to advance their knowledge of the various means available for the protection of their intellectual property, and the development of a mature version of their product for sale in the free market.

IANC holds regular meetings every third Thursday of each month exchanging information about trials and tribulations of inventing, product development, and licensing or marketing and providing professional opinions where possible to help educate the public in particular areas of interest. We attempt to reach those inventors and entrepreneurs in Shasta and outlying Counties across Northern California.

We have evolved from a loose association of individuals into a nonprofit (501(c)3) California Corporation and charitable trust. We are funded solely by grants, member donations, and charitable contributions.
