Invention-Con—the USPTO’s annual conference for independent inventors, entrepreneurs, and small business owners whose success depends on guarding their creative work—returns August 10-12.
This year’s theme is “inspiring and redefining the innovative mindset.“ Join us as inventors, entrepreneurs, and USPTO staff discuss ways to use intellectual property to achieve success, resources available for innovators, and the importance of an intellectual property strategy.
