Patiently Impossible Project raises $$ for Legal Aid

The Dade County Bar Association Intellectual Property Committee is presenting The Patiently Impossible Project to benefit legal aid. It's a charity race to assemble a selected patented invention. Participants will be provided various parts, tools and only the instructions in a patent registration.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to “bet” on the winner by purchasing raffle tickets for door prizes (including an iPad) during the cocktail reception to follow.

The committee wanted to make a change to the typical attorney cocktail reception, so they devised The Patently Impossible Project which is open to all South Florida attorneys and paralegals, regardless of specialty, and not limited to patent lawyers or engineers. Prizes include a library of intellectual property law books provided by BNA Books, a special first place trophy, and of course, bragging rights!

Even if you chose not to compete, please stop by for drinks and appetizers while cheering on the teams. The event is free and the teams who do participate are asked to donate $50.

The Legal Aid Society is the oldest legal services provider for the indigent in Miami-Dade County. Established in 1939 and chartered in 1949, Legal Aid is the sole source of free civil legal services to all Miami-Dade’s indigent community; all foster children, regardless of age; victims of domestic violence and sexual assault seeking permanent injunction services; and families needing to open a guardianship case for an incapacitated child or parent.

The event is Friday, December 3, from 6 to 8 pm at the Museum of Science (3280 S. Miami Avenue).

Please RSVP to Committee Chair, Jaime Rich Vining at 305-448-7089 or
