Inventors Gallery
Invention is the backbone of progress, yet many contemporary inventors go unrecognized despite their transformative contributions to society. Invention Insider Inventors Gallery — a new series produced by the NAI in collaboration with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) — seeks to change that by showcasing the faces behind the breakthroughs and spotlighting a diverse group of innovators shaping our world today.
Focused on the creativity and perseverance of inventors in research settings, the multimedia series delves into how visionary ideas become real-world solutions through collaboration, intellectual property, and determination.
