At the Inventors Association of Arizona (IAA), we are committed to providing accurate, reliable, and well-researched information to support inventors, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals. This Fact-Checking Policy outlines the steps we take to ensure the integrity of the information shared through our website, meetings, and educational resources.
1. Commitment to Accuracy
IAA strives to ensure that all educational materials, meeting discussions, and shared resources are factual and based on credible sources. We verify information using:
✔ Reliable industry publications
✔ Intellectual property laws and regulations (USPTO and other legal frameworks)
✔ Expert insights from our board members and guest speakers
✔ Reputable business, legal, and engineering sources
If errors or inaccuracies are identified, we promptly correct them to maintain our commitment to transparency and trust.
2. Fact-Checking Process
All information presented by IAA undergoes a multi-step verification process before being published or shared, including:
2.1 Content Review
- Information is checked against official and verifiable sources, including patent databases, legal guidelines, and market reports.
- Board members and subject matter experts review key information before it is shared with the public.
2.2 Expert Verification
- Statements regarding patent law, intellectual property, business development, and licensing are reviewed by qualified professionals.
- When necessary, external experts are consulted for additional technical or legal validation.
2.3 Continuous Updates
- Since intellectual property laws, industry standards, and business trends evolve over time, we periodically review and update our content to reflect the most current information.
- If outdated or incorrect information is identified, we correct it promptly.
3. Guest Speakers & Third-Party Content
IAA frequently invites guest speakers and industry experts to share insights. While we ensure they have credible expertise:
- The opinions expressed by guest speakers do not necessarily reflect IAA’s official stance.
- We encourage attendees to cross-reference information and seek professional legal or financial advice when making business or patent-related decisions.
- IAA does not endorse or take responsibility for third-party links, references, or external resources shared during events or in materials.

5. No Guarantee of Business or Legal Outcomes
While we strive for accurate and useful information, IAA does not guarantee that applying shared strategies, patent recommendations, or business insights will result in success, patent approval, or financial gain. We strongly advise members to seek personalized legal, business, or financial guidance before making critical decisions.
