US Inventor is a non-profit association of inventors devoted to protecting the intellectual property of individuals and small companies. It represents its 67,000 inventor and small business members by promoting strong intellectual property rights and a predictable U.S. patent system through education, advocacy, and reform. US Inventor was founded to support the innovation efforts of the “little guy” inventors, seeking to ensure that strong patent rights are available to support their efforts to develop their inventions, bring those inventions to a point where they can be commercialized, create jobs and industries, and promote continued innovation. Its members depend heavily on the value created by meaningful patent rights. Their broad experience with the patent system, new technologies, and creating companies gives them a unique perspective on the legal fights over the scope and validity of the rights to their inventions.
