The Inventor’s Project hosted our annual How to Invent Series on Capitol Hill in August for Congressional staff and inventors in the Washington DC area. We welcomed Edison Nation’s Louis Foreman for the first two days of the class. He took attendees through the invention process from having an idea to commercialization. Intellectual Property expert Jon Parthum from Cahn & Samuels law firm wrapped up the week by discussing the importance of patenting your idea and what that entails.
The How to Invent Series also featured interactive Q&A sessions, allowing attendees to engage directly with experts and gain personalized advice tailored to their unique invention journeys. These sessions provided invaluable insights into overcoming common obstacles in the invention process, from protecting intellectual property to navigating regulatory landscapes. The collaborative atmosphere fostered a sense of community among inventors, Congressional staff, and industry professionals, creating a robust support network that extends beyond the event itself.
In addition to the educational components, the series included a showcase of innovative projects developed by local inventors. This provided a platform for attendees to see firsthand the diverse range of inventions emerging from the Washington DC area. The showcase not only highlighted the creativity and ingenuity of the inventors but also underscored the critical role of supportive policies and resources in nurturing innovation. The Inventor’s Project remains committed to advocating for inventors at the policy level, ensuring that the legislative environment continues to foster and protect the spirit of innovation.
