By Mark Schmit, National Accounts Manager, Manufacturing Extension Partnership, National Institude of Standard and Technology (NIST)
(October 23, 2017) Although I believe Manufacturing Day is an everyday affair, the official 2017 Manufacturing Day has come and gone. On October 6, modern-day manufacturing was showcased to students, teachers, parents, prospective employees, elected officials, and more at over 2,800 separate events across the country.
  An employee of UK-based manufacturing company Domtar provides high school students with a tour of the company’s facility in Rock Hill, S.C. on Oct. 6.
#CreepyIP in time for Halloween
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is celebrating Halloween with its fun annual twist: #CreepyIP. Every October, USPTO uses #CreepyIP on Twitter to educate the public about the importance of intellectual property (IP). From the registered trademarks protecting the candy you eat and the costumes you wear, to the utility and design patents behind the tools to make them, IP is alive and well.
This Halloween, USPTO will conduct it first Reddit AMA, allowing Reddit users to ask USPTO anything (but, as USTPO noted on Twitter, confessions aren't guaranteed - see the photo below).
