APRIL 2019 UPDATE
We predicted 2019 as a transition year for Micromobility devices: now 1.0 models/devices have hit escalating growing pains juxtaposed against major rollouts of transient stand up e-scooters with city planners around the world. Now a plethora of reporting raises questions: New Micromobility 2.0 business model/devices surely will emerge perhaps emphasizing ownership and taking care of your own property; much as the parents of Millennials did owning a car and waxing it on Sunday and not leaving it in the middle of the street abandoned.

We are excited that Detroit shines as a center of Automotive Intellectual Property during our 4th year as knowledge partner with IAM for the Auto IP conference now expanded to Munich. This month's featured members offer the first anti-pollution mask with filtration for 2 wheel users, a smart helmet with 21st century safety essentials of bluetooth, speakers, mic, and circuitry, and a patent asset firm offering intellectual property for sensors, mechanical fluid movement and machine learning.

The curated I-Hub provides resources to commercialize and monetize Intellectual Property, and to access software, events, novel databases, special reports, government resources, in-the-pulse blogs, and innovation leader presentations.

As always, we invite all readers to join our intellectual property marketplace, free of charge, and engage the community and to attend one of the over 100 global conferences we will support this year to personally engage the change agents.

Join and get One-Click-Closer® to being our next success story.
